- "I was able to concentrate more during the virtual training"
Helpdesk Analyst, August 2020
- "The training was well structured and appropriately paced. Neil's non-technical examples helped to aid my understanding. I particularly enjoyed the car breakdown/get the user back on the road analogy to illustrate the incident management practice and 'U is not for Use' as a way of remembering the difference between utility and warranty.
His emphasis on keywords within purpose statements provide good cognitive shortcuts to help participants prepare for exams. I really appreciated the inclusion of the Kahoots quiz in the training as a revision tool and to enhance participation in a fun and interactive way.
I found the virtual delivery to be just as effective as a classrooom session.
I asked the team whether they found the training worthwhile. Most of my staff said that it has given greater context to our work and function within the Department, and enhance their understanding of some of our internal processes within. That's the outcome I was hoping for, so I'm very pleased with the training.
Many thanks to Neil for his excellent facilitation."

Change & Configuration Analyst, July 2020
- "The student guide was also very good. Not too long, not too short with the right amount of detail.
Despite some initial technical difficulties, I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I felt like I learned a lot even though I have spent many years working for organisations that profess to follow ITIL methodologies.
I found DLJ to be a really interesting person who is able to present a relatively boring topic with a perfect mix of enthusiasm, real word experience and cynicism.
Since completing the course I have also passed the exam with a score of 35/40."
Roadside Network Designer, Technology, June 2020
- "Neil is a excellent trainer with extensive knowledge, course material is very well written.

We held the 2 day course over 3 half days which worked really well for our organisation and for attendee's having to sit in front of a computer for extended periods."
May 2020
- "The Zoom experience was excellent. The break out rooms worked brilliantly.
I was skeptical about virtual training versus face to face in a classroom but the last three days progressed brilliantly. I wouldn't hesitate using virtual training in the future.
The student guide and pre-course instructions were great. There was no doubts about how the session would progress or what we needed to do / prepare."
May 2020
- "Neil's level of engagement was excellent, and the nature of a webex presentation made me feel that he was talking directly to me, rather than spreading the attention around. I think this helped me focus and stay engaged more than in a traditional training setting.I also found people stuck to breaks more consistently - there was no drifting back in to the training after lunch or short breaks.
I was dreading the idea of being on camera for the full training session and it was absolutely not a big deal."
May 2020
- "It was a lot better than I expected and being at home was actually comfortable and good to have breaks. The presentation flowed well and everything felt relevant."

Lecture slides were good, Neil had a good pace where he explained and went through content, providing very good notes from his experience that couldn't be found within the textbook or notes.The interactive quiz elements were done well and Neil found good ways to test our knowledge without always just reading textbook questions back, but checking if we can apply knowledge.
