Paul Smith
Gurjit is an exemplary technical trainer who has delivered training across a broad range of technologies, for internal users and external clients.

Gurjit's classroom delivery is polished, well rehearsed and professional - supporting course attendees as individuals and being aware of the reaction and conversations taking place in training rooms. Working with Gurjit was a pleasure, his courses always rated highly with attendees!
