When you need to "pivot" from Excel to Power BI
If you're like me, an intermediate / advanced Excel user and need to transition to Power BI but struggling, then STL's two-day "Power BI Modelling, Visualisation and Publishing" would be perfect for you. The course is pitched perfectly with frequent reference to Excel and how much easier it is to "pivot" to Power BI. This course is like a series of super useful (and relevant!) YouTube tutorials you didn't have to search for, delivered! There is also a two-year support which is going to be invaluable! Perfect!

Hi Suzanna,
Thank you for such a thoughtful review – we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
It’s fantastic to hear how well the Power BI Modelling, Visualisation and Publishing course supported your move from Excel into Power BI. Our trainers work hard to frame new tools in a familiar context, so it’s great to know the Excel comparisons and practical examples helped make that transition smoother and more efficient. Helping delegates quickly gain confidence and improve productivity is exactly what we aim for.
We’re also pleased you highlighted the long‑term value of our post‑training support. As you mentioned, our two‑year support forum is there whenever questions come up, giving you continued access to our trainers as you apply your learning in real‑world scenarios.
Thanks again for the recommendation – we’re delighted the course hit the mark.
We hope to see you on another STL course in the future.

Excellent Introduction to Copilot
I attended the Introduction to Microsoft Copilot course on 23 April 2026 and it was excellent. The trainer on the day was Atlas, he is very knowledgeable, engaging, and explained everything clearly.
Even though there were only two of us on the day, it never felt slow, there was plenty of interaction and time for questions. The practical exercises were really useful, and I left feeling confident about using Copilot in my daily work.
Refreshments were provided and lunch was included, which was a really nice touch. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone looking for an introduction to Microsoft Copilot.

Hi Deon,
Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review, and for attending the Introduction to Microsoft 365 Copilot course with us.
We are really pleased to hear how confident you felt using Copilot after the session. Atlas will be delighted with your feedback. We are very proud of our trainers and the way they use practical exercises and real examples to help delegates work more efficiently in their daily roles.
You are absolutely right to highlight the small group size on the day. One of our core commitments is that courses are never cancelled, even with low numbers, as we know how disruptive last minute changes can be. Smaller groups often allow for even more interaction, tailored discussion and time for questions, which we’re glad you experienced.
We are also pleased you enjoyed the refreshments and restaurant lunch at our Bloomsbury centre. We hope it was a welcome part of the day.
As a reminder, you have access to our post training support forum for two years. If questions come up as you continue using Copilot at work, it is a great place to connect directly with our trainers.
Hope to see you again soon.

Highly Practical and Engaging Personal Effectiveness Workshop
I recently attended the Personal Effectiveness for Managers workshop delivered by Hazel, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The session was engaging, well-structured, and packed with practical tools that I can immediately apply in my role.
Hazel was a fantastic facilitator, knowledgeable, approachable, and very skilled at encouraging participation while keeping the session focused and productive.
I also appreciated how interactive the workshop was, with plenty of opportunities to reflect, discuss, and practice new techniques.
Thanks

Engaging negotiation course that provided a lot of new perspective on negotiation and a lot of the emotion and behaviours that drives it. Hazel did a really good job of adapting the content and discussion to my role which is usually indirectly involved in negotiations rather than directly.
