I arrived at your training without any knowledge but a keen interest to learn. Thank you so much for making the past three days so interesting and fun. I feel I am leaving with a sound understanding of the basics of web design.

Your teaching method – a mix of theory and hands-on – made the time pass very quickly. I wish you and Helion all the best for the future.

Before my training with Helion I was swamped with information and wasn't quite sure what the most efficient strategy would be for moving forward with my website optimization.

Thanks to Nan I now have a clear idea & plan of what I want to achieve and how to go about it.

Thanks to Nan for the informative day.

Thank You so much Nan for working with me! I found it exciting and fascinating the whole time. The day ended too soon. Your personality and passion for Web Design is a great motivation to keep working on becoming better with the program!!

After I left I just wanted to carry on doing more and more. Your teaching style (with the hands-on approach) was great and kept me interested the whole way through.

I highly recommend to anyone that is thinking about learning about Web Design to look Nan up, I guarantee that you’ll come away from the course , totally inspired and wondering "Why didn’t I do this earlier?!"

Thanks Nan, and I hope to see you again soon to learn more!

Thank you very much for the wonderful training. I was anxious beforehand that I would be able to last a full day and remember everything. Your fantastic style of training and great analogies meant learning was interesting and easy. Your wealth of knowledge meant each topic was covered thoroughly. I'm confident that with this training, I'll now be able to create a great website. Thank you so much for all your help.

Nan, I can’t thank you enough for dispelling my fears of never being able to grasp web design! I came to the course desperate to absorb as much information in one day while avoiding looking like I was out of my depth. From the moment the course began you made me feel totally comfortable and I wasn’t ashamed of how little I knew. I found the course very easy to follow and felt I could ask the silliest questions without feeling embarrassed.

The one-on-one training was invaluable! And Nan, your teaching methods are excellent. I have come away from the course with a clear understanding of not only where to begin with my web site but, more importantly, the knowledge to know where to look and how to problem solve the design process over and above what you could show me in one day.

The resources you offer are real value for money and I would not hesitate to recommend your course to anyone wanting to learn the ins and outs of web design.

I was very impressed with the training I received from Helion. It was a great first step towards becoming a web designer, I gained a great deal from the 2 day course and am now well on my way to producing professional, functional websites.

I appreciated the clear, informative and supportive style of teaching. I was amazed at what was achieved over the 2 days and I left very excited having discovered a whole new world in webdesign. Thank you!

Thanks for working with me to give me the knowledge and confidence to use the Dreamweaver software. Due to a change with our existing web design company I was given the job of learning Dreamweaver and taking over this role within our company.

Always one to accept a challenge it was suggested that I find a company to train me in using Dreamweaver. After searching the internet I found Helion who were based in Auckland and after talking to Nan I was happy that Helion would be able to tailor the one day course to suit my needs and also the needs of our company’s website.

There was so much to learn but I found that Nan covered all the relevant information for me to be able to understand the principles of HTML, web design, search engine basics and how websites work and then being able to relate this to our own website.

Since completing the Helion training I have been able to use Dreamweaver successfully with confidence and continue to learn something new every time so a big thank you to Helion.

I went into the Dreamweaver Training with no prior knowledge of web design and HTML was a whole different language to me. But with the training offered by Helion, I got the excitement like learning to read all over again. In such a short time I was able to absorb so much from the efficient training and the great resources provided by Helion. I find this newfound knowledge to be a great asset that everyone should harness.

In general, it was a fun interactive course that would keep the attention and motivates the individual to continue learning more about web design. The day went by so quickly but was not the slightest bit tedious.

The purpose of taking the course was for organizational objectives of keep our website updates and design changes in house. By designing the course to cater for my individual needs, we were able to go over all the necessary points to best utilize the time spent in the days training. The use of understanding websites has become universal where it will not only benefit companies, but can be used for personal purposes also. At the end of the day it was a case of Mission Accomplished and then some.

Thank you for working with our office to provide the current enrolled postgraduate students of the University with the necessary skills and tools required to help them with computer packages.

The feedback from our students was very positive highlighting the amazing achievements they were able to learn throughout the sessions provided by Nan.

I found it immensely gratifying to know that Helion Training was willing to provide further assistance where needed and also the flexibility to organise further more computer sessions at such short notice.

I would like to thank Nan especially for all her time and involvement with the University and wish her all the best in her endeavours and also note that I would be available for contacting should you need to do so.

Thank you for coming out and helping me design & create our website last year. Your experience and advice is absolutely spot on, and has really helped our site get noticed and receive great feedback.

It's a pleasure to work with you, as you pace your training at my experience level, and also because you're not following a course guideline or notes, you're working from your own knowledge; this gives me great trust in your skills, and that you know what you're talking about.

The whole website experience was a little daunting at first, but you certainly took any initial fears that I had away, and I really started to enjoy it once I realised how easy it was. I put this down to your enthusiasm and excitement to teach, which makes the whole experience fun and relaxed.

I also appreciate the extra service you put in by contacting me from time to time, to give me an update on how our site is going, it’s nice to find someone other than myself that’s interested in our company’s success on the Internet.

I would be happy to recommend your services to anyone wanting to contact me.

Thanks once again for the fantastic service & wonderful website.

I just wanted to thank you for working with me to help develop our Frangipani Cottage website. (www.frangipani-cottage.co.nz) I have to say that I was initially a bit apprehensive about the thought of receiving training and website development assistance from such a highly qualified professional, but you certainly went out of your way to communicate what I needed to know without over-using the technical jargon.

My other concern was to ensure our website was completed quickly given that I had requested the minimum amount of training time possible with you, and your offer to complete the work we started and then help me to add some of the “finishing touches” was a tremendous relief and a very practical suggestion, so thanks for that as well.

You work in a very competitive and at times “cut-throat” industry and yet your obvious passion for what you do is nicely balanced with a very refreshing and honest desire to go the extra mile to make sure your customers get what they want.

I would be more than happy to be contacted by people who are considering using your services.

Thanks very much Nan for not only turning our dream into a reality, but also for going out of your way to ensure the reality lasts.

I enthusiastically recommend the prompt and efficient service of Helion and of its equally efficient and personable director, Nan.

Nan's advice and technical expertise have been invaluable and in addition, she has been extremely pleasant to deal with. In my experience, Helion puts in 101% to deliver the goods.

Thanks Nan for the great course, I really enjoyed it. You have taken the 'mystic' out of HTML and CSS and have helped me understand the basic concepts of Dreamweaver … you clearly 'know your stuff'!

Your flexible mobile classes worked well with my busy schedule and adapting your course to suit my individual training needs meant I learnt so much more. The course content was excellent and I use the reference materials constantly. I also appreciate the after course support.

I had absolutely no knowledge of web development, but felt I could confidentially build a website after taking your course – thanks again for the great learning experience!

Thanks for helping me develop my website. I really appreciate your kindness, patience and efficiency throughout the whole process, as well as the great ongoing support you have given me since the website was set up.

Having never set up a website before, I was apprehensive to say the least, as I really had no idea what was involved. You made everything simple and painless for me, and offered lots of ideas to make my website more attractive and effective. Whenever I have struck any small snag I've been able to contact you and have it ironed out immediately.

Thanks for everything, Nan - you'll definitely be top of my list if I ever need to set up another website!
