"Very well delivered, nice environment."
Ian Ripping - Web Support Officer (NHS CFH)

"An excellent course, I learnt a great deal, the clear and friendly teaching style allowed me to gain a much greater understanding of Plone and the ZMI, which has already been useful in my work. The handouts and course folder were also well produced and I will refer back to them as I continue to learn more about Plone."
John Pilbeam, Web Development Manager
Forced Migration Online, University of Oxford

"It was a very good insight to the workings of Plone, especially where we have had a custom built site."
Wendy Parry - St Bede's School

"Jorgen communicates his passion for plone for three solid days, leaving just enough room for other subjects over lunch. He really shone though, in responding to questions and addressing the needs of everyone in the class."
Matthew Slater, Shelter Centre, Cambridge

"It was a very useful course, covering much ground, taught in a friendly and informal manner. Very good. 5 out of 5."
Tom Pelly, Systems Developer,
Cambridge Assessment, University of Cambridge

"The course was an excellent introduction to Plone and didn’t waste any time on useless information. We had no prior exposure to any of the associated technologies other than HTML and it has given us a good basic understanding of the product and architecture. We are in a position to go off, and through self-study, expand our working knowledge of Plone/Zope/Python"
William Spillane, Technical Lead,
Parity Solutions, Belfast

"I found Jörgen and Webworks people very friendly and knowledgeable, I was always able to ask questions and always got the answer to my problems."
Pascal Dall'aglio, Analyst/Programmer,
NIAB
