The energy Darren brings to the training is so impressive as well as the clarity of the course instructions. The course was weighted really well, a great balance of lecture and tasks.

Gordon Hurst

Darren was an excellent instructor – probably the best instructor I have ever had in all of the training courses that I have attended. I have come away from the course with a lot of valuable insights and ideas for using FME in my work.

Lina Le

The course was tailored at basic level as advertised. The hands on exercises were awesome and kept the training interesting and moving along at a pace that was inclusive of everyone. The course has been thoroughly thought out and covered a lot in the time allowed.

Kelly Fenwick

I was very impressed by the demonstration of the capabilities of FME and would like to recognise the effort Darren has put into making this training a successful course – a massive thank you!

John Bayeh

There is so much opportunity and ability to apply course content to everyday work. The lecturer was great, highly recommended training course.

Dilshan Senewiratne

The spectrum of where FME can be applied is limitless. Darrens experience was a highlight and the way he showed passion and insight on how FME can be adapted to any situation involving data and information.

Ashwood Caesar

For me this training was about demystifying FME. I’ve seen others use it and knew what a powerful tool it was but I’ve never quite found the time to teach myself.I think the balance of what we studied was spot on. It seemed to cover a fair amount of the FME functionality and I could see how it was applicable to the work I carry out.

Liz Bowen

I have learned so many tips about FME Flow and FME Form. Darren our trainer is so experienced in FME and he is always happy to share his tips and tricks to us along with practical examples. He answered all the questions we had and also very helpful if any users got stuck.

Phuong Tran

There was a lot of information to go through and I think our trainer Kieran managed this well. The ability to use the online version of the manual and also getting the tips and tricks from the community was great. Highly recommended course.

Andrew Old

This course provided a terrific opportunity to learn more about the extensive tools of FME. Darren was an awesome trainer and the online (virtual) training layout (due to Covid restrictions) didn’t impact the quality of the course at all.

Chris Jones

The instructors knowledge and practical examples provided were excellent. Much better receiving formal instruction in a classroom environment rather than struggling with self-taught options online.

Helen Simpson

Darren was a fantastic instructor who always made sure to take the time to assist everyone with the exercises and material whenever help was needed. His friendly and personable nature also made it easy to speak up and ask questions whenever necessary.
