JonThompson Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Had an email from this company about some training courses. Was just wondering had anybody on here used them, and if so were the courses any good? Thanks.
Millgate Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Never heard of them myself but that doesn't mean they aren't any good. We partner with a very large training provider so if you like, i can provide you with a comparison for the course your thinking about, then you can see if they are any good (price-wise) Cheers
JonThompson Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks, it's the Windows 7 Deployment course.
Vegas Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 We've used them numerous times and they are superb. 1
HallX Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 @JonThompson I did a few courses with these guys. Well delivered & very competitive prices, depends if Sheffield is too far from you.
bondbill2k2 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 My network manager and the previous technician here both used Neos, I have some of the documentation still they provided for 2003 AD which is nice and detailed. I also have a few friends who have used them and highly recommended them along with several people on here. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/courses-training/1276-neos-training-worcester.html http://www.edugeek.net/forums/courses-training/40911-neos-training.html 1
JonThompson Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks. @HallX the courses are being advertised in Worcester, so a bit of a trek from the midlands.
Bezwick Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I did a couple of courses with them a few years back, and they were pretty good. They base there courses around practical uses with a few of the official Microsoft components thrown in. I was pretty happy with what they did, helped me quite a bit when i took them. Would use them again, but as they are based in Worcester (just off the main street), i had to stay in a hotel for the course duration with budget cuts not beed able to do anymore.
ChrisJ Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I've had a few courses with them. One where I went down to their place in Worcester and the others they came out to our facilities. Pretty good courses, but like all training it can start to feel a little slow if you already have a good knowledge of parts of the material being covered.
EduTech Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I have heard of them before, I have not done any courses myself with them but I have never heard a bad thing about them. When I worked in Secondary School my Line Manager did some courses with them and he said they were spot on. James.
FragglePete Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Done my Exchange 2007 Course with them a few years. No complaints really, excellent pricing for Schools and quite a nice lunch! Would use them again, just getting into Worcester is a PITA. Pete
alan-d Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 We've been using NEOS for some years now and always have good feedback. (Especially the lunches at Worcester
itgeek2008 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Ive used NEOS for three courses now and have all of them to be excellent
TechieWils Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I did at Mac OSX/ Windows domain magic triangle training with them at Worcester. From Rowley Regis (Snow Hill Line) it took 50 Mins to get there and then a 5 minute work from the station. Nice little office, clean and lunch was supplied in the pub below (home made beef burger and chips... YUM!) I'd recommend them.
GrumbleDook Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 NEOS have done some of the FITS training in Northants for us as well ... good guys who will bend over backwards to help.
Kitkatninja Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Neos-IT is one of the very few training providers that I actually have time for. Not only do they know they stuff, but they relay it across nicely (I know from personaly experience). 1
Kyle Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 We've used these as well. great courses and great pricing........................and also the lunch as most people have mentioned :-) 1
jamin100 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Yeh another +1 for NEOS. Ive done 4 training courses with them now and the content is always very good and in depth. + i like the fact its above a jessops so i can have a look at the cameras during lunch 1
K.C.Leblanc Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I've done two courses at Neos, both very good. 1
Jaymate Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Just read this thread and I'm on a course with them this half term. Not really heard of them before but now really looking forward to it :-) J 1
K.C.Leblanc Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Can anyone who's been there recently confirm that Alan still has a 'flat top'. 1
Haptic Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Had the pleasure of Lee Oakley @ Neos' company on more than one occasion. I can’t recommend him highly enough, top bloke backed by a great organisation Joe 1
Leeoakley Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Joe....you just made me blush! Thanks for all the great feedback everyone. "Can anyone who's been there recently confirm that Alan still has a 'flat top'. " I have to look at the flat top almost every day of the week and I can confirm it is still.....very flat! Jon: Not sure if I can offer advice on the edugeek forum about a product we offer, but as this may be useful I will cross my fingers and hope I don't get a slap on the wrists. If travel is an issue: we deliver a large number of "satellite" courses throughout the UK for groups of schools. For example; we are running a Windows Server 2008 course for a group of schools in Bristol this half term from a school in the city centre. We have some interest in WDS from schools in your area. If I had 4-5 interested technical staff we could deliver the course with you and pricing would be similar, if not better than that quoted on the eshot. Basically the more interests we have the lower the price becomes (up to a maximum of 10 delegates). This way we come to you and local schools benefit from a reduced cost of the training and travel. Let me know if you want to discuss this further. Once again, thanks for the feedback. Lee 01905 726222 [email protected]
wesleyw Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Another +1 for Neos had several courses from them over the years very good, Wes 1
ascott2 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Another +1 for Neos. I did an ISA course in Worcester a few years ago now, and they were brilliant. And I can agree the lunches were very good too :-) 1
