Excellent Course and Brilliant Trainer!

I took part in the Excel Intermediate course from STL, and it was excellent.
It was a full day course so it did not feel rushed, and it covered lots of different areas and functions of Microsoft Excel, all of which were useful.
The trainer Jens Bonde was excellent. He made what he was teaching exciting, and had great enthusiasm and energy for the subject.
The course was interactive with lots of opportunities for group communication and chances to put what we were learning into practice.
There was a total of three breaks throughout the day (mid morning, lunch and mid afternoon) which were good to have and spaced out evenly.
Communication of information prior to the course was clear and helpful.

Hi Lily,

It’s great to know the structure of the day worked well for you and that the mix of content, practical exercises, and group interaction helped make the learning both engaging and effective. We design our courses to build real confidence and efficiency in the workplace, so it’s fantastic to hear that came through.

A special thank you as well for highlighting Jens, we’re very proud of our trainers, and it’s brilliant to hear his enthusiasm and energy made such a strong impact on your experience.

Now that you’ve completed the course, just a reminder that you have access to our post-training support for two years, so if any questions come up as you continue using Excel in your role, our trainers will be more than happy to help.

We really appreciate your feedback and hope to support you again in the future.

Trainer was a good presenter, but course was severely lacking

Trainer was a good presenter, but the content of the workshop (Copilot training) was lacking. An expensive course that could be summed up in less than half a page, with some of the information around AI being literally out of date and/or incorrect.

Reply from STL

Thank you for your feedback and for attending our Copilot Engage session, a 2-hour awareness session designed to highlight the strategic direction for Copilot and the personal benefits it can bring to productivity and day-to-day efficiency, rather than act as an interactive training course or workshop.

I’m sorry to hear the session did not fully meet your expectations, particularly around the content. The session is typically commissioned for a broad audience with varying backgrounds, experience levels, and often limited access to Copilot licensing.

Your comments are taken seriously. We will reach out to you directly to better understand which areas you felt were out of date or incorrect, as this is important for us to review in detail. We are also following this up with your organisation and will be discussing the feedback with the stakeholders involved in arranging the session, so that the appropriate conversations can take place.

We review feedback from every event daily across the whole business and share it openly, helping us to continually refine both content and overall value. It’s great to hear the trainer’s presentation came across well, and your feedback forms part of our ongoing review process.

Thank you again for your honesty, and we hope to see you again.

Incredibly Valuable

This course was an incredibly valuable introduction to Excel, which I know will help me navigate it more easily and give me the opportunity to put the fundamentals into practice. Martin, my trainer, was very friendly, knowledgeable and exceptionally patient. I would highly recommend the course.

Working with STL on an in-house "core skills" curriculum

STL's consultants showed a genuine interest in our business context and needs around incorporating specific skill training models. That interest was matched by experienced experts and trainers who were quickly able to understand what we after and adapt their materials accordingly. So you get a positive customer experience, good quality training and materials, and all for a good price too. Cost, quality, service, the golden triangle. Well done STL!

STL - Excel Intermediate Course

I attended London Bloomsbury in person Excel Intermediate Course recently. The course was delivered exceptionally well, and I would attend further training based on the reliable format. I particularly valued the productivity of the day. Despite being a one-day course, the instructor demonstrated impressive dedication, energy, and endurance throughout the long hours, maintaining a consistently high standard of teaching while maximising the time available for guidance and material coverage. This made the session highly valuable and worthwhile.

Even during the short breaks, the instructor remained approachable and available for additional support, which was greatly appreciated. In addition, the hot lunch exceeded the standard expectations of most training courses and contributed positively to the overall learning experience, making the day both enjoyable and rewarding.
