Great instructor - made it so much easier to get through a whole day staring at a computer!

There wasnt enough taught in the course. I didnt find it went into enough detail and the handout is terribly written. The instructor was okay but he focused too much on how "Not to do something" then how to just do it correctly, on certain course material which confused people. I think less breaks, more days added so we can learn more about what MS project has to offer.

The course was great and helped me learn a lot of skills using Excel for work. The instructor was really nice and knowledgable. Although my only complaint and concern is that the course was really rushed and i feel like some people wouldnt be able to keep up with the training.

I'd like to see a course at this level that is more in depth. More practice excercises, over a longer period of time. I was pleased the instructor made himself available to students even after the course was complete (gave us his email if we had any follow up questions).

I wondered why Access 2003 instead of 2010. I should have checked that before I took it. Anyway the course was great and I learned a lot and the Instructor was so nice and kind, I enjoyed his class.

Haven't really looked over the course book much as I made lots of notes. Only comment re: technlogy was I had no internet connection which was a bit of a hassle during the lunch break as I wanted to check my email and my company website and had to use another desk.
