Business & Professional Training

Stuart Brown MCP

“I have been a freelance PC Instructor since 1993 and have been employed by many training companies and blue-chip clients to train staff in PC Software (mainly MS Office) to an advanced level. I also train in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) for both Access and Excel. I am a Microsoft Partner and hold the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) qualification for Excel.

I am experienced in developing, designing and delivering training programmes for all user levels and creating supporting materials for rollouts of Office 365 and SharePoint. I am currently examining how virtual delivery via MS Teams can be used to educate users and add value. My current training activity involves using Power BI and the Power Platform to present business critical information.”

Developing people today for business tomorrow

“Working in training and development and operating in public and private sectors, with large and small organisations, I offer consultancy and training in personal, organisational and skills development.

I like to work with companies, identifying and clarifying business and people outcomes needed for organisations to make progress. I can provide training /coaching/group facilitation, developing people to meet those outcomes. I consider that every company should get the service they specifically need and therefore relationship building with a flexible, practical and innovative approach is my natural way of doing business”.
