WOW! What an amazing experience. Sandy was a real treat to work with. Her knowledge, experience, and training style was what I would want any future instructor to have. I could not have asked for a better experience and will be sure to recommend her to any one looking to step up their Microsoft Application skills. Alberto Rodriguez - Rust-Oleum Corporation |
The Microsoft Word class is the best course I have taken yet. I thought my knowledge of word was complete with a few gaps. Chris gave so many tips, tricks, and information I was shocked by how much of Microsoft Word I did not know. Chris's interaction and response to questions was engaging and informative. Arthur Bragg - Individual |
