Customers Reviews

Angeline Ellson

I really enjoyed the BCS Foundation Certificate in Business Analysis course delivered by Richard. He was engaging throughout and made the content genuinely interesting by bringing in clear, relevant real‑world examples. These examples helped to break down the theory and made even the more complex concepts easy to understand. Richard’s delivery style kept the whole group involved, and his ability to connect practical scenarios to the syllabus made the learning experience both enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended.

Rita Ifeanyichukwu Ugwuagbo

Richard is very detailed

Chia-Ling Chang

I enjoy the course with Richard; it is well-structured and informative. When we asked questions, he used a case from his experience as an example to enhance our learning. He also provides supplements to help us understand the course better. I would highly recommend Richard's courses.

Jack Meechan

I enjoyed Richard's course - he provides lots of handouts which are really useful for revision. He also keeps the action on the slides - I got a bit lost in the Process Modelling course when we kept switching over to MIRO - so I feel more focussed like this.

Smith

Richard was an excellent tutor and course facilitator

Aravind Nair

Richard is an amazing tutor who explained the concepts throughly and clearly with lot of examples.

Ben Omara

Richard's delivery was excellent, drawing on his extensive experience to bring the course material to life and I'm pleased to say I passed the exam yesterday!

Alice Hutchison

Richard was a great trainer, I really enjoyed the course. I found it really helpful that he shared so many resources in the chat as and when they became relevant, rather than all at the start or at the end.

Elizabeth Mogg

Richard's delivery was very good and upbeat. I was disappointed with the lack of participation from the other attendees with their cameras & microphones off which made the group tasks very difficult. I would suggest some 'house rules' around having cameras on even if muted

Angus White

Richard was extremely knowledgeable of the course content, and managed to cover a lot of detail without it being overwhelming.
