What people say about us

Excellent interaction and answered all of my questions. Looking forward to being able to apply some of the tips and features learned today which hopefully should have real impact on some of the more time consuming tasks currently encountered.

This is the 3rd course I have done with Arun. He is very helpful and always supportive if I have other questions outside the lecture parameters. I have already recommended him and Nexus Human to work colleges and would do so again after this course.

Great course yesterday and can’t give enough amazing feedback for John. I’ve never had a teacher hold attention of a class from start to finish, but yesterday he did this.

I would like to thank the staff of Nexus Human, who were very helpful, prompt, friendly and professional in helping me attain my Microsoft certification. I would like to thank Abdul in particular for his guidance during the course and commend him on his knowledge of software development.

The instructor was excellent. Was willing to field any questions we had and deal with our specific queries.

The class just finished and I just wanted to mention to you that it was absolutely amazing. The quality of the training had very high standards, the trainer explained amazingly well and we actually practiced (did) all the steps. It was not learning by watching a presentation but by actually doing. The training has been delivered from Atlanta (US) and I cannot wait to go tomorrow in the office and recommend it. The connection and the lab environment were running perfectly.
Once again thank you very much and looking forward for the next trainings scheduled. Enrolling via Nexus Human Dublin was the perfect choice.
