Author Bio – Stephen Saxton

Stephen has been delivering computer-based courses for over twenty years, focussing on the Microsoft Office suite of applications. Microsoft Project and Visio are additional courses that are very popular sessions.

Steve started out his training career in the Armed Forces, building a vast amount of experience in the delivery and design of courses. A two-year stint at a military training depot provided an excellent platform for Steve to develop as a trainer and engage in new methodologies. It has always been Steve’s goal to learn on the move, incorporating new skills in to his own courses as they are discovered. This technique has allowed Steve to stay current and focussed on new technological trends, such as the deployment and migration of Microsoft Office 365, which is quickly becoming the must have Office tool.

IT’s Easy Training was set up in 1998 by Steve and another colleague after leaving the forces. The jump from the military in to civilian life was a bit of a culture shock for both new owners. Steve had to find freelance work from several bigger more established training companies. Although this might have been a backward move, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Steve was part of a much larger group of trainers that constantly shared knowledge and best practise. Steve’s learning style, to learn on the move, paid great dividends now. After two years working with this highly motivated company Steve pushed out on his own, created a course list based on the best practise around at the time.

All the courses covered by Steve are fluid, moving with the times, as Microsoft brings out new features, they are added in to the relevant course sections, helping maintain a constant flow of new material. Steve has gathered a multitude of business examples to use in all his courses, twenty-two years working with businesses of all sizes has provided the tools to engage with almost every student and enable them to move forward and improve their skills.
