Here are some reviews of the training vendor.

   

The training provider was good but sometimes I felt he moved too quickly through the course. I understand that there was alot to cover, so I feel that maybe it should have been a longer course. Most of the people on this course had already taken some type of this course before, but this was my first time working with any type of spreadsheets at all. It was sometimes overwhelming. I just might take the course again soon.

I wasn't greeted at the door on arrival and had to find someone to ask what room I was supposed to be in. There was another instructor who arrived the same time as I did, but she was more concerned about looking after another client who was in the office. She didn't even bother asking what class I was scheduled to take. I view this as poor customer service. After waiting around for 15 minutes or more, I went to the back of the office to find someone to assist me. Once we got into the session, I discovered that the Excel 2010 did not cover anything to do with InfoPath - which was my main reason for attending. While I learned a few things about Excel 2010, I did not get answers to many questions I had regarding InfoPath. Following the session, I called the office and requested the class examples that were used be sent to me - I also noted this on the evaluation sheet. As well, I asked for step-by-step instructions for inserting additional icons on the Tool Bar when doing Excel documents. The person who answered the phone said she would pass my request on to Christina Bower, who was not available when I called. To date, I have not received anything from Presidio.

An exercise at the end that tied everything together would have been a nice addition to the course.

This seminar was for people with experience using quickbooks, defintiely not for beginners. I don't believe the seminar description properly described this. By 10:30 am, I was completely lost.

If you have used Excel more than once DO NOT take Level one! I wish someone would have told me that. All you are taught is how to navigate excel.

I received a photocopy of the manual which wasn't as clear as the original manuals--I was a last minute registrant who got a discount price and this was pointed out--even that I didn't have the same options as the other two did because I booked through Last Minute. The other two who booked, booked through presidio and if they felt they didn't absorb enought during the course that day they could come back for a refresher for free. This was mentioned a few times. The Instructor knew the content inside and out and was very knowlegeable on the software. The 15 minute breaks could have been shortened and the content that was covered could have been presented in a slower manner. I was able to keep up, but the material was rushed through at times.

the book says I download the course material and I can't find it. It also says I was to receive a CD didnt receive a CD

The course itself was good. The instructor seemed more intent on discussing topics not related to the course material i.e. riots in BC, SQL and how hackers got in etc. The computer programs did not work the majority of the time. The instructor did very little to resolve the issues.

The course was well run, very informative and very hands on whick is really nice. The only comment I could make is the room was small and the overhead screen a little hard on the eyes due to lighting. I would definitely consider taking another course.

Exercises are really good and relavent to the material being taught. The instructor really cares about your experience and understanding of the material.

This was an excellent program! The instructor was very knowledgeable. She had extra tips on hand outs and made sure that all in the class understood. I am thirsty for more training now.

I realize this is a 1 day course to make you familiar with the program. But not enough time to cover the information without rushing. The instructor knew this and was very helpful and showed genuwine interest in our understanding/progress even in a rush.

I totally enjoyed this training. The class size was small which made it very easy to understand each new point. The presenter has a great personality and was extremely helpful. I would recommend this training any day!

I enjoyed this session more than level 2. The only problem was that the chairs were so uncomfortable. My back still hurts today.

I felt the class was not completely professional. There was a lot of joking between the teacher & students & I did not completely enjoy the atmosphere.

It was alot of information to take in one day, it's too bad that you can't provide this training over a longer period of time such as in the evenings for a number of weeks or in short time frame such as a 2-3 day period.
