Spicers, Total Supply and Universal Packaging have been working with Sharyn for the past 9 years with great success. Each year when we complete our annual reviews there are always requests for Excel courses and Sharyn is our go-to. I collate all the requests and send them through to Sharyn, and she works her magic in the background, arranging times and courses and emailing participants to book them in. She makes the whole process seamless, from enquiring about the course through to the courses taking place. She is patient and accommodating when business gets in the way and changes have to be made, nothing is ever an issue.
The feedback after the courses is always exceptionally positive about Sharyn as a trainer, our team raves about her!!  She makes the topics easy to understand, remember and integrate into daily work life. Those who have done the courses are definitely more proficient!
If you are looking to do an Excel course yourself, or looking to book your team, we cannot recommend Sharyn enough, she is a brilliant trainer and super easy to deal with.
