"Sandy was friendly, outgoing, and helpful. She created an environment that was not intimidating for us. Suddenly spread sheets became fun! Thanks, I will be back for higher levels of training."

"Sandy is a great instructor! She showed great examples of real life situations and that really helped. Doing some of the book exercises can be boring but she made it fun and easy. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone. Starbucks coffee is a great idea! I was pleasantly surprised when I got here (and didn't have time to stop for coffee). Very nice environment to learn. Thanks."
