What Our Community Says About Us

Our interactions with SDI have been brilliant. The people have been incredibly supportive and helpful and the content we have been exposed to has been invaluable in our continued growth, expansion and improvement.

JOSHUA NELSON Power Design Inc

Many thanks for the boost of confidence this SDI training has given me and for all the helpful tips and information. It was really refreshing to be guided by someone who has a clear passion in delivering great service and who also has lots of experience in helping others to do so. SDM Training Course.

DAN UPTON Plymouth University

Being a member of SDI has provided us the tools to improve our service, raise our profile, demonstrate our value and connect the IT Service Desk to work closer to the rest of IT and the University. Our customers have witnessed improved response times, communications, customer engagement and, ultimately, improved customer satisfaction.

The resources and community available are invaluable. These contributed to us achieving a same day resolution monthly average of over 70% and seeing a drop in incidents of over 34.71%

The course itself was very informative – I am now able to be better in my role and deal with customers far more efficiently. I loved the course, and the material and trainer were amazing. SDA Training Course.
