Recent student feedback
stars “The instructor was very good at providing real life examples of the concepts that were discussed. There were very useful tips provided for Outlook use. Also, several worksheets alternatives that are likely to be useful in my daily work.” John Briers

stars “Jeanette was about as good a instructor as you could ask for when it comes to time management. It's a breath of fresh air when an intructor brings in their own experience and metholody to a course as opposed to just following the training materials. A good instructor uses those materials as a base to build their course and expand in the most relevant areas. This course really helped me step back and take a look at myself and how I handle my day-to-day work. Now I'm just excited to get out there and use these new skills. ” Kyle Snyder
