Welcome to Thornton Vare Seminars

Thornton Vare Seminars is the IT training company with a difference. We specialws1ise in running half-day, hands-off seminars that enable you to make the most of your Microsoft applications but take up less of your time.

Instead of sitting in front of a computer in a classroom, struggling with examples that you don’t really understand, or waiting for slower delegates to catch up, we will guide you through a lively demonstration of tips, tricks and shortcuts as well as powerful features you may not even know were there.

The directors, Sue Thornton and Tony Vare each have over 20 years experience in IT training and are both Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructors. They have worked extensively with Access, Excel, Word and PowerPoint presenting training courses at introductory and advanced level to thousands of delegates on both public and custom courses. They have also presented seminars to large groups of people for several major organisations. They know how to get the best from Access, Excel, Word and PowerPoint.

As a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Tony has a strong accounting background. Previously he was finance director of a retail group and a director with Financial Training in London. He has also written complex spreadsheet applications for various clients.

Sue has a background in software development and programming. Subsequently, she has worked with a large number of clients developing templates, standards and procedures geared to their specific requirements and the needs of their organisation.

An effective alternative to traditional hands-on training, our seminars save you money, cut your learning time in half and at the same time increase your efficiency and productivity.
