SMP Training & Consultancy Ltd was formed in June 2002 by Steve Phillips. Steve has specialised in Crystal Reports Training and Consultancy since 1996 in which time he has trained literally hundreds of individuals from all over the UK. His vast experience of working with Local Education Authorities has led to many long-term relationships with leading LEAs.

Recent customers include: Oxfordshire County Council; Warwickshire County Council; Somerset County Council; Birmingham City Council; The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD); British Telecom (BT); mm02 Airwave and many others.

Due to our specialisation in Crystal Reports training and consultancy services, we also supply contract trainers to other UK based training companies.

We are the sole UK Associate of the leading US Crystal Reports Training and Consultancy firm, Hammerman Associates, Inc. This relationship means we will work together to better serve our customers whether they be in the UK, Europe or the USA.

Our specialisation in, and experience of, Crystal Reports sets us apart from almost all other training companies offering Crystal Training courses. Many Crystal Reports courses advertised today are not run by professional crystal report writers, quite often they are full-time trainers under pressure to learn and deliver a wide range of course materials. They do not have the time to specialise in the area of crystal report writing. We deliver training on Crystal Reports v8, v8.5, v9, v10 and v11 (XI).

To make our rates as competitive as possible, we do not own expensive training facilities nor do we have large, impressive premises to maintain. We will continue to work from a small base for as long as possible and will continue to hire the best training facilities as and when required. We also buy commercial crystal reports training materials to ensure delegates have the best training materials available on the market.
