Would recommend - great trainer and great provider

I thoroughly enjoyed the course, and Karen was a great trainer! Nothing was ever a silly question or made you feel like you should know the answer.

Everything was explained in detail and at a good pace, and it really made me feel relaxed walking into a subject I know nothing about.

Would 100% recommend the project management - framework & processes course and STL as a training provider. If you have the pleasure of having Karen as your trainer, you're in for a great session!

Excellent, Impactful Training

We recently sent an employee on Excel Intermediate, Excel Advanced, and Power BI courses with STL. The training was thorough, practical, and directly relevant to our work.
The results have been clear — the employee delivered a complex data project with accuracy and insight, thanks to the skills gained. We’re very impressed and will happily use STL again.

Great course and wonderful instructor

Karen instantly made the session feel like a safe place to highlight what we need to work on and was always very goal driven when we flagged areas of weakness. We worked through the course, but if an area needed more discussion we took the time to really hone in on what we were feeling and how best to approach the problems that arise. Couldn't recommend Karen or STL more!

A Valuable and Engaging Excel Learning Experience

I found this Excel training course to be extremely valuable and well delivered. The trainer was knowledgeable, engaging, and explained both basic and advanced Excel functions in a clear and easy-to-understand way. The course content was practical and relevant, with plenty of real-world examples and hands-on exercises that helped build confidence in using Excel more effectively.
I particularly appreciated the step-by-step approach, which ensured everyone could follow along regardless of their previous experience. Since completing the course, I have been able to work more efficiently, automate tasks, and analyse data with much greater confidence.
Overall, this was an excellent training course that exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their Excel skills, whether they are a beginner or a more experienced user seeking to enhance their knowledge. It was a worthwhile investment of time and has already had a positive impact on my day-to-day work.

Access Intermediate Course by STL

I and a colleague recently attended Access Intermediate training course in London run by STL and their trainer John Pascall. The course lived up to my expectations with a knowledgeable trainer who was willing to adapt the training to my specific needs.
The joining instructions were clear and all of the necessary IT was ready to start as soon as we arrived. Lunch at a nearby restaurant was provided as part of the course with a good selection of meals. I came away with more tools that will help with the devbelopent of our new database.

Amazing service

We recently booked STL to deliver face-to-face Excel training for our team, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Duncan, the trainer, was knowledgeable, engaging, and explained everything in a clear, easy-to-understand way. He tailored the session to the group's ability and made everyone feel comfortable asking questions.

A special thank you to Tom at STL for organising everything and ensuring the training ran smoothly from start to finish.
