I attended the online Excel course, to firstly freshen up my skills as so much has changed over the years, Tracy was an excellent teacher, patient, clear and really helpful, nothing was an issue, I did a one to one, which I thought was better for me, I feel like I have learnt so much, the course was over two half days and I feel much more confident in what I can do now and what I am going to be doing.

Review for TCS SharePoint User Training I recently attended Microsoft SharePoint User Training delivered by TCS, and I was extremely pleased with the experience. Emma, the trainer, was excellent throughout the course. She explained SharePoint in a clear, engaging, and easy-to-understand way, ensuring everyone felt comfortable asking questions and participating. Her knowledge of the subject was outstanding, and she provided practical examples that made it easy to apply what we learned in our day-to-day work. I would also like to thank Tracy, who organised the training. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and professional, making the whole process seamless from start to finish. Overall, the training was well structured, informative, and delivered to a very high standard. I would highly recommend TCS to anyone looking for Microsoft training and would happily attend future courses with them. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I attended an Excel Introductory course today and it was brilliant. Well structured, easy to follow and packed with practical tips and tricks. We covered many different bases and it was all very relevant content. My instructor, Tracy, was extremely helpful and created a comfortable experience with regards to queries. Overall, a very insightful course!
