Great course

Course instuctor did not hand out the manuals until end of the day. Therefore not able to write notes in for reference later on. - kinda silly.

Great training, had to meet the various needs from no experience to some with experience. Washrooms looked tired and need of improvement. Personally prefer an early start/early finish 8am to 3pm would be great

Course materials were not handed out till the end of the course and may have been useful to follow along. Some of the example/course files were missing from my folder.

The Instructor was very knowledgable on the subject. The class moved quickly. I think an additional day would have been nice.

The course was excellent and the instructor did a great job but why does everybody cut the time short. I think we should take a shorter lunch and get more class time instead of leaving a half of an hour early!

EXCELLENT instructor!!! Very patient ... customized the class to the needs of the students!

Reviewed by Jackie G. 2011

   

The only improvement I can suggest is focusing a bit more on the basics of Visio - more on Org & flow charts as opposed to so much time spent on designing rooms.

George was personable and easy to follow and work with.

Sue is an awesome instructor!

Reviewed by Cathy P. 2011

   

The instructor was excellent. It was evident that several of us who were competent with Excel 2003 Level 1 should have probably taken Excel 2007 Level 1 again rather than Excel 2007 Level 2, but the instructor was very patient and managed to cover basics from Level I as well as Level 2.

With myself being very green with this program I got very useful information that I can use daily.

Reviewed by Rick . 2011

   

One more hour would allow for more hands-on training.

Good course. Friendly instructor. I found the speed of the course to be a little slow for me, however I understand that other attendees required more help/detail than I did. Overall, a good experience.
