Training Brochure 2012-2013

“After sending one of our IT members on an

Exchange course It was clear that Neos weren’t your

typical IT training company, they had people with not just the

theory but a real working knowledge of the systems which they

taught. We were then confident in using Neos for our com-

pany wide training”
