Meet Jan Barton, your course trainer

I have a passion for SIMS training and my background helps me to understand the frustrations faced by administrators and data managers on a day to day basis.

I have worked in Primary and Secondary schools and for a Local Authority as the team leader of a SIMS support helpdesk. 

These roles have provided me with an extensive knowledge of SIMS and its many uses in school. Having dealt with a wide variety of SIMS issues helps me to deliver better training and consultancy services.  I believe that a little investment in people goes a long way.
