Course Reviews

John explained everything very well and in great detail. The training format is easy to use and follow. Will happily be putting forward for further courses in this area.

Alex - Automotive


Mark was very friendly, approachable and understanding and delivered the course in a professional manner. I am certainly taking away a better understanding of AIX and have enhanced my knowledge base due to the content of the course.

Zander - Automotive


Very enjoyable, delivered at a manageable pace.

Keith - IT Business Analyst - Automotive


Good course, lots of explanation all on subjects and the practical exercises were very rewarding. Excellent trainer.

George - Open System Engineer - Finance


Having previously undertaken a similar course in the past I expected this course to not be especially beneficial, however this was not the case at all. I have garnered some very useful new skills and knowledge. The trainer's subject knowledge and delivery are a credit to himself and Stayahead. I was constantly engaged and rarely found myself requiring a repeat of the coursework but when needed he was more than helpful in explaining where I was struggling.

Laurence - Operations Support - Finance


The course was set at a good pace and the course content was structured very well. The facilities within the training complex were excellent!! The staff were very professional & helpful & the food was of a very high standard. Very happy with my 3 days on the course.
