"Simon was an incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and encouraging trainer. His explanations were clear, he was always available to help and gave us enough freedom to try tasks and techniques for ourselves. I learned a huge amount in just three days and the course excelled my original expectations by a mile. The media centre staff were very friendly too and the overall experience was excellent - highly recommend!"
