Senior Project Management Analyst TransUnion

The training was excellent and exceeded my expectations. The trainer was very knowledgeable, engaging, and responsive. It enhanced my understanding and helped me apply what I learnt to real work situations. It also supported my preparation for the exam and helped me successfully achieve my certification.

Mrs Iborh Ugbaja

Very much so

Alex Eslick

Very knowledgable in the course material and was able to make sense of quite a dry topic. Was very friendly and supportive.

Louise Chamley

Dave was engaging and was clearly passionate about the subject. He delivered the course at a good pace. Overall excellent trainer.

Michael Robinson

Dave was excellent. Both in clearly teaching the knowledge but also in supporting to pass the exams with hints and tips.

Emma Peel

Incredibly knowledgable and engaging.

Chiara Lorenzetti

The foundation trainer was amazing, extremely knowledgeable and accurate in pacing the training. I can't comment on the practitioner trainer as he fell ill and a substitute was provided last minute. Unfortunately we only had the training for 1 day and the following day was a self-study day which is quite disappointing as I feel I didn't get the preparation that is required for the practitioner exam

Alistair Scott

Dave was Brilliant, but Paul who took over was cantankerous

Jessica Capello

Great trainer Warren with great sense of humor.

Jess Miller

Warren was engaging, clear and supportive. His delivery style created a positive learning environment. His time management was impeccable, and the breaks felt very well timed and considered. I'd certainly recommend him as a trainer.
