Stuart makes excel fun and easy to follow! He is very patient when we got stuck and took his time to go back over and explain why our formulas might not have worked.

The quality of the work books was really good and methodical. We now have all of the workbooks to use for future tasks that may require something a bit more difficult to work out.

Stuart arrived early each day and was a pleasure to be with.

I would recommend this course to anyone, no matter how little you use excel.

Stuart – Can I just pass on our thanks for the timely and comprehensive MS Office training you delivered to our team. Being able to secure training on a whole suite of software from one trainer has proved invaluable. Our staff were of varying experience and abilities as you know – and I’ve had great feedback from them saying you were patient and understanding to their individual needs. Everyone who attended your sessions is now more confident in using the software and are using it on a daily basis in support of their roles.
A massive “Thank You” from us all.

I can thoroughly recommend Stuart Ford as an IT trainer. I completed an IT course via Teams which was a completely new discipline for me, Stuart steered me through this with ease. I found him very patient and understanding of my age (76) . Nothing was too much trouble and he went over and over modules until I had understood them completely. He has a very calming, understanding and personable personality. He helped me set up a small online business at my age! He is without doubt the go to company for IT training.

Over the last 2 years, Stuart provided us with great services; he helped set us up with the best suited programmes for our staff and saw us through the sign up and bookings. He and his colleagues have been thorough and reliable enabling our small organisation to upskill our staff enabling them to better access the IT they need for their roles. Stuarts positive approach has helped build confidence for those very new to IT as well as developed those who have been able to go further with their studies. As a care provider we often struggle with balancing time of the rota with training, Stuart has shown understanding and patience with this sometimes requiring short notice changes.

Thanks to Stuart and his colleagues from Vision Homes Association’

“Fourteen staff from Proactive Personnel Ltd have recently benefited from outsourced training which has increased their IT skills and efficiency in the use of spreadsheets. The training was delivered by Stuart Ford from Software Skills as part of the Skills Support for Skills project which is funded by the European Social Fund.

Jenny Boyle, Senior Partner at Proactive commented “ All the staff who attended the course, myself included, remarked on how much they had learnt in a short space of time and how their new found IT skills have significantly complimented their day to day job role. The success of the training was mainly attributed to our supportive trainer Stuart Ford who was particularly encouraging, motivating and patient throughout and its thanks to Stuart’s professional approach that we achieved such a high success rate. Our staff have acquired some valuable IT skills which they can continue to build on and which will enhance their current processes and efficiency.”

“The tutor conducted the training in a very clear manner, explaining everything in good detail. We all thoroughly enjoyed the course and look forward to completing more similar training, which has significant benefit to both ourselves and the company”

Hi Stuart.
Thank you so much! I loved the training, and just want to pass on how easy you made the learning.

“Once Stuart explained how Excel and PowerPoint works, it all became clear, and we have never looked back, saving lots of time and effort. Both myself and members of the team have also gained City & Guilds qualifications. I can thoroughly recommend Stuart to help you learn more about Microsoft software’.”

“Stuart delivered bespoke Excel training for some of our Board Directors, managers and administrators, all of whom took on valuable new skills and are using Excel with confidence for the first time. Stuart’s delivery is patient and perfectly paced and nobody was left behind. All the team were challenged and have been more productive following the training”

For several months I have been undergoing training with Stuart Ford. I have gained a plethora of knowledge from this training furthermore; my business has benefited immensely. I am far more confident using MS Teams, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The training is delivered remotely which, in turn is ideal. Stuart delivers an excellent training package and I highly recommend his skills.

Stuart led a series of one-to-one Microsoft training sessions for me in Excel and Project along with elements of Teams and Word. Self-taught, I fell into the areas between intermediate and advanced in different areas and needed to improve certain skills relevant to my business requirements. Stuart was able to ensure my basic knowledge was up to speed and as importantly for me, able to customise his training to help me learn the specific areas more appropriate to what I wanted. He has a calm, patient manner and ensured I understood each stage of training.

“You have been fabulous for our team”
