We have not received any reviews specific to this course as yet, however here are some reviews of the training vendor.

   

Enjoyed the day

Concise, clear and well presented. I would request this facilitator for any future courses based on my confidence is her ability to communicate effectively and based on her knowledge of the materials.

We were hoping there would be more about 'forms'. (Portfolio was interesting, but not really releveant to my needs). - Actually, my boss asked if we talked about Forms Manager, I said no, and then we couldn't decide if Forms Manager is something that was discontinued in X (from 9).

Parking facilities at the UofA are incredibly expensive, for those who need to drive there. $40/day for parking was disappointing!

Had never done Excel before, it was all greek to me. Maybe need to repeat work sheets twice. I will come back for repeat class.

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

Reviewed by David S. 2011

   

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 trainer I had was great. She had a great personality that kept me interested. Awesome Job! Thank you

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!

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!

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.

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.
