IT Training

Remote Training

I have a background in software development and customising applications. New software always leads to a need for training. So I both developed software and taught people how to use it. Over time training became an important skill and is one of the services that I offer. Additionally everything I learn about how people use computers during training  courses becomes part of what I implement when doing design and development work.

Microsoft 365

The entire suite is impressive. I can run training courses across its application suite. In particular, my experience is at its greatest with

  • Teams
  • SharePoint Online

Software and Data Analysis

Data analysis and business intelligence are vital areas to be fluent. It’s in teaching this that my previous experience in software development stands out. Favourites in this area are

  • SQL Language (In particular Microsoft SQL Server)
  • Power BI
  • Web languages (such as HTML, CSS, PHP

Course Design

Not all clients have the same needs. To accommodate this, I offer bespoke course designs.
It’s a straightforward process.

  • First we agree to a course outline.
  • Course materials are then built and reviewed until all parties are happy.

Web Site and Software Design

Web and Software

My background is technical. Maintaining these skills as a planned part of my work keeps up to date and current. This knowledge gets ploughed back into training courses. It’s a wonderfully circular process.

Web Site Design and Maintenance

I have a full-service web capability. In that, I can build host and maintain websites. There’s a simple fee structure so that you always know where you stand. My preference is to build websites using the WordPress CMS system. Most of my clients are small to medium-sized businesses that want a web site that suits their needs.
Websites that I host receive backups and backend software updates. Plus changes requested by their owners

Software Development

Although I periodically built larger pieces; most of my software development exists as client utilities.
Designed to do one job well. These pieces tend to be the automation of a task that would be very slow or impossible to do by hand.
