  • I can't rate Park Cameras highly enough with regards to their training service, which mirrors the overall level of customer service that I have received over many years. Easy to purchase with comprehensive information sent via email, the course itself was well structured and well delivered in a bespoke room and excellent trainer. Lunch was provided, and provided correctly (I am a vegetarian!) as was a fantastic workshop handout and course notes provided at the end of the day on a DVD. Very much looking forward to attending again, perhaps via a bespoke 1-2-1 which they also now offer.
