What people say about us…

Below you can find just a few of the positive comments we’ve had from clients who have experienced and loved the Concise Training approach.

“It has taken me ages to sort myself out & invite Mary into the office to provide us with some training on LinkedIn. She was calm, patient, knowledgeable & helpful. I would definitely recommend Mary for your IT training needs.”

Amanda Barnett, Grosvenor Consultancy

“I’ve been to 5 seminars on Social networking in as many weeks and the only plain and simple one was Mary’s”

Nigel Morgan, Morgan Pr

“Mary has been brilliant in helping me evolve a social media strategy, and start me on the steps to using the tools much more effectively. She’s taught me all sorts of things about LinkedIn that I hadn’t spotted – and as well as telling you how to use things, she also explains the reasons why. It makes everything so much easier to understand! Remote training over the Internet has been brilliant – no time wasted having to travel, park etc – and it works just as well, if not better, than face to face training. And you can sit and try things out in real time rather than having to wait until you get home. A brilliant trainer – really knows her stuff.”

Julie Stevens, Better Business Decisions

“Mary turned me from Social Media novice to Guru (not quite but she did get great results in limited time) with efficient and enjoyable online lessons, for a great price. If you want to know what all the links and tweets and blogs can do for your business talk to Mary!”

Daniel Kitchen, Optimum Wealth Management

“Thank you very much for the personal attention you gave me at the course training you recently gave me on LinkedIn.  Your simple explanations and detail has given me an additional arm to my marketing and will I am sure benefit my business greatly in the future.

I look forward to working with you again in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending you to colleagues and friends.”

Alan Ballard, Ecosalus Print

“Mary has helped me to develop a whole host of social media networking skills. Mary has attended our offices and I have also used her remote service which is very cost effective.”

Margaret Thompson, Into Reality

“I can’t praise Mary highly enough.  Flexible and an absolute expert in helping you get to where you need to be.  Not only has she vast knowledge she’s a great teacher too! Very patient and effective.  Use her, use her, use her!”

Melissa Kidd, Coaching Creatives

“Mary provides clearly structured training and eliminates the jargon so that anyone can quickly get to grips with how to use social media effectively. Mary’s great personal approach and expert knowledge helped me get started on Twitter and I have not looked back! Thanks, Mary! I continue to recommend you wherever possible!”

Kursha Woodgate, Mexia Communications  

“Mary makes the difficult seem easy.  She accepts people where they are and moves them to where they want to be in a supportive, focussed and encouraging style.  Reliable, practiced and expert in her field, I highly recommend Mary to anyone wanting to get to grips with technology.”

Elizabeth Kuhnke, Kuhnke Communication

“My oh My! I had 5,000 odd items in my inbox, was getting increasingly reactive to incoming phone and email, and becoming a less effective strategist as a result.

I met Mary at 4N Faringdon, liked her approach, booked up for 4 remote training sessions and it worked. 2 hours training over a couple of months, has radically changed the way I deal with outlook, my inbox is tiny, I use tasks much more, and I’m getting control of my time once more.

Worth every penny and some – so don’t delay call Mary today!”

Tim Johnson, Director, 4Networking

“I’ve just had a one-to-one training session with Mary to learn how to use Linked-In. In less than an hour, in the comfort of my own home, I’ve turned from social network-a-phobe with a deep suspicion of the whole issue, to a proper Linked-in user, with a profile, some connections, and a thorough understanding of how to make use of the service to suit my business needs. If there is any area of software use, or social networking strategy, that is causing you trouble or wasting hours of valuable time, give Mary a call!. It’s so much more effective to get training that targets your own needs, not a generalized ‘how to use’ type course.”

Laura Jones, LauraJPilates

“Mary is patient and thorough and has helped resolve a number of computer and social networking challenges. Thoroughly recommended.”

Tim Matcham, The Garden Network

“Mary has introduced me to and help me set up on Linkedin. Her training was very thorough and she was very knowledgeable in her subject. From knowing nothing – in three days I have my profile up to 90% from the advice she has given me.”

Martin Green, MARTINGREEN Projects-Safety-Solutions

“Mary performed and online excel tuition course for one of our accountancy trainees. This was a great help and gave our staff member a really good grounding in to Excel which she is now using to good effect. The pre and post service was excellent. I would highly recommend this method of training and will certainly be using Mary’s services in the future.”

Phil Hendy, PAH Accounting

“Mary gave me some Excel training. As a result, I have saved over an hour a week in time spent analysing my spreadsheet. Thanks Mary!”

Lisa S., Oxfordshire Adult Learning

“Mary fully understood my training requirements and was proactive in organising the session.

I would not hesitate in recommending Mary at Concise Training to anyone looking to up their skill set.”

Lynn Harman, Telemarketing Services

“I recently did some LinkedIn training with Mary. I’d already set up a profile but didn’t really understand what else I could do with the site, and over the hour Mary showed me how to make my profile stand out, how to find and add contacts and how to use many of the site’s features to gain more contacts and potential business.

The virtual classroom interface was easy to use and Mary was friendly and tailored the course to my specific requirements. I’d recommend Concise Training to anyone looking to get more from their computer!”

Alison Neale, The Proof Fairy Publishing and Editorial Services

“I asked Concise Training to produce a user guide for my internet based direct mailing package.

Mary quickly understood how the system worked and produced a comprehensive user guide for both non technical and technical users.

I would have no hesitation in asking Concise Training to create more user guides for my systems.”

Roger Rapley, ViP Ltd

“Mary advised me to use Skype. I saved over £300 by not having to have an additional line installed for my business.

She is engaging and a good listener who is able to tune into potential clients at their level – even if they’re technophobes like me! Thanks!”
