Hear from our delighted customers that directly benefitted from our services…

“A poll around the office showed how much people loved your training sessions. They commented on your sense of humour, the fun they had, how much they’d learnt and how appreciative they were of your patience in dealing with one to one queries.”

“Thank you very much for delivering such high quality and enjoyable training, we got through a lot however you kept energy levels high which is not an easy thing to do. We all left the training feeling enthused and wanting more!”

Anna O’Sullivan

“The training we received through MakeITaplan was incredibly useful. Gemma was clear, concise, and very good at making it easy to understand for everybody taking part. We had a group of Progress users widely varying in experience, yet she managed to engage all of us at all times. She also brought laminated step-by-step ‘help’ cards for each of us to keep after the training. I couldn’t recommend MakeITaplan more highly.”
