"Paul, thank you so much for the recent MS Project training courses that you delivered to The Danwood Group Ltd. The feedback from my colleagues has been truly superb; in their own words: ".enthusiastic, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, adaptable, helpful, the best trainer..."! Wow, praise indeed.
Initially, I'd researched fairly extensively for an MS Project training provider. And, right from our first meeting I knew I'd found exactly what I was looking for. The quality of your training, as well as your ability to so easily accommodate a wide range of experience in a single course, speaks volumes - even those with considerable previous knowledge learnt a huge amount. All the course delegates, beginner and experienced alike, are now fully confident with MS Project and eager to put their new found skills to best use. I'm delighted at the outcome, and would unreservedly recommend you for MS Project training. Thank you, Paul."

He has proved himself as a provider of high quality, customer focused and valued training, which based on our client feedback, confirms his excellent engagement and rapport with learners. Paul ensures that their learning experience is of relevance to them and their employers, with a personal manner that enables them to relax, enjoy and value his teaching and training.
Paul also brings a high quality of reliability, consistency and personal presentation that has proved his ambassadorial value when working for our organisation with our clients."
Brian Smith
Business Development Manager
Kingsway Consulting Ltd
"As the MD of an electronics Company I needed to ensure that all my people were fully conversant with Microsoft Excel, Word and Access in order to work effectively & efficiently. In addition, our managers frequently need to present ideas and concepts to groups of varying sizes, including presentations to potential clients. Paul was able to satisfy all of these requirements in a single package.
What impressed me most was Paul's ability and willingness to tailor training sessions to meet the individual needs of our staff. Everyone felt that they had received a personalised learning experience, despite dealing with groups of ten or more. As a result, everyone's confidence level with the Microsoft Office suite has soared and they no longer waste time trying to teach each other."

"I have worked with Paul since October 2007 when I was responsible for marketing and organising computer courses at Kingsway Consulting. Paul delivered the workshops in an exceptionally professional way to the extent that all the learners attending gave complete positive feedback with many asking for more training with him.
I personally attended the Website Design course with Paul as the trainer and thought his manner in delivery was logical, easy to follow and he made the subject very interesting. His passion for teaching this subject is infectious creating a highly enthusiastic audience that want to learn."

"Thank you for recently providing an Excel Intermediate one-day training course at Renaissance Southend. I have had extremely good feedback from the members of staff who attended the training, and they were particularly pleased with how much was covered and the structure of the training. We had different levels of expertise in the group but we thought you reacted well to judging what level we were all comfortable with and even our most experienced user went away with a lot of new knowledge. We all felt we gained a substantial amount from the training and we look forward to putting our new skills to use
Personally, I found Paul to have a professional yet friendly approach that created a nice learning environment for the day, and where people felt happy to ask questions if they were unsure at any point. Arranging the training was also very easy and hassle-free and the equipment he supplied was of a high quality. I feel a lot more confident in my Excel skills now and without hesitation would recommend Paul Brown Associates to colleagues or other organisations we deal with."
