It was lovely to have them all in our Training Centre and the new seating arrangements worked really well.

Investment in Employee Training

We recently read a very interesting article by the Learning & Work Institute, and just had to share the key statistics.

They paint a picture of training budgets that are not keeping up with real-terms changes and a growing inequality in the training afforded to young people and non-graduates. Although this sounds a bit bleak, it means there’s a real opportunity for employers to stand out from the crowd by offering high quality training to their workers.

Digital Transformation - Are You Ready?

Has your organisation been slow to adopt new technologies? If so, you're not alone.

According to a recent study, the most common reason why so many companies delay their digital transformations is due to a lack of IT skills in their workforce. Our interactive, tutor-led training courses are designed to upskill employees in key Microsoft 365 Apps like Excel, Word and Power BI through to SharePoint and onwards to more advanced Microsoft IT Skills.

Take a look at our 2024 Course Portfolio to see how we can help.

Microsoft Excel Learning Pathway

Hands up, who’s used Microsoft Excel today!

Most people use Excel either at work or at home, but when was the last time you learned something new or found a quicker way to perform a task?

Last year, we helped many learners gain new skills in Excel. A discussion we often have is, “I’m not sure what level is right for me”, so we’ve put together this handy guide to explain!
