I attended the “Presentation Skills” course yesterday and came away genuinely impressed. It’s amazing how much you can still learn, no matter how long you’ve been presenting. I’ve done my fair share over the years, but this session gave me fresh techniques and a new perspective. The trainer delivered everything in a really engaging and easy-to-follow way, making the whole day enjoyable and worthwhile. Left feeling more confident and better equipped—great experience overall!

Great passion and enthusiasm

The experience was made great by the instructor who clearly had passion and enthusiasm for the subject. His excitement for Excel made me engage more and the day didn't feel drawn out and mentally exhausting.

Highly Practical and Engaging Personal Effectiveness Workshop

I recently attended the Personal Effectiveness for Managers workshop delivered by Hazel, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The session was engaging, well-structured, and packed with practical tools that I can immediately apply in my role.

Hazel was a fantastic facilitator, knowledgeable, approachable, and very skilled at encouraging participation while keeping the session focused and productive.

I also appreciated how interactive the workshop was, with plenty of opportunities to reflect, discuss, and practice new techniques.

Thanks

Engaging negotiation course that…

Engaging negotiation course that provided a lot of new perspective on negotiation and a lot of the emotion and behaviours that drives it. Hazel did a really good job of adapting the content and discussion to my role which is usually indirectly involved in negotiations rather than directly.

Hi Magne,

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. It’s great to hear that you found the Negotiation course both engaging and insightful. It’s always encouraging when delegates feel they’re gaining practical perspectives that enhance confidence, productivity and effectiveness back in their role.

A big shout‑out to your trainer Hazel, we’re really pleased to hear they were able to tailor the discussion to suit your responsibilities, especially given your indirect involvement in negotiations.

Finance for Non Financial Managers Training

The Finance for Non Financial Managers course offered by STL Training was perfect for my needs. It offered me a concise, focused introduction to the world of finance, with our instructor using a wide range of real-world examples to make the content particularly engaging. Thank you Sally and STL, and all the best for the future.

Good value, efficient training!

Well managed from start to finish.

The cost was reasonable and instantly the team at STL got in touch to provide key information on the day.
The training center is simple but effective space with good tech and easy to see presenter at the front of the class. The trainer was knowledgeable, answered queries with ease and got through the content effectively, we didn't run over and felt everything was covered off as needed.
The included lunch was great.

Only downfall was the coffee machine/water set up. Not the best coffee and little to no milk and biscuits we all out of date.

Otherwise its A+ from me.

Hi Dan, thanks for sharing your experience on the Excel Intermediate course in Bloomsbury. Great to hear the session helped you work through the content efficiently and that Atlas, your trainer, supported the group so well. We are proud of the way he brings clarity and practical focus to our delegates.
Glad you enjoyed the restaurant lunch at Bloomsbury too. The point about the biscuits was picked up on the day and the team has already acted on it, so thank you for noting it. We value you flagging the point about the coffee and the team has already incorporated it into their feedback review.
Your feedback on the value and smooth organisation means a lot to us. We work hard on clear communication before, during and after training, supported by our live 12‑month schedule and simple rescheduling options. A quick reminder that you now have two years of access to our post‑training support forum if you want to check any Excel techniques as you put them into practice.
Thanks again and hope to see you again.

We discussed with STL our requirements before booking the correct course for us which was useful and the course provided everything we needed. The course leader (Atlas) presented clearly and obviously knew the subject very well.

Hi Jane, thank you for reviewing your Introduction to Microsoft 365 Copilot course. Really pleased to hear that discussing requirements beforehand helped ensure you were booked onto the right session and that Atlas delivered the content clearly. He will be chuffed to hear your feedback.
Since you were at our Bloomsbury centre, we hope you enjoyed the restaurant lunch provided on the day. It is always good to know when the environment supports an effective learning experience.
Your comments on the course being both helpful and interesting speak directly to what we aim for, pairing practical productivity benefits with structured guidance. As a reminder, you now have two years of unlimited access to our support forum where you can ask further Copilot‑related questions to our trainers. We also keep our training availability fully transparent with our always‑live schedule so planning future sessions is easy.

An incredibly informative course

An incredibly informative course. I took this advanced Excel training as an opportunity to refresh my existing knowledge, but it exceeded my expectations. Not only were the core concepts clearly explained, I also came away with a much deeper understanding of advanced features and practical techniques that I hadn’t used before. The course was well structured, engaging, and highly relevant to real‑world scenarios. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen and build on their Excel skills with confidence.
