An enjoyable and informative workshop. I appreciated the fact that John worked to our needs and was willing to answer any questions that we had. It gave me a great overview of the product and how user friendly it was. It did assume prior knowledge of the package so sometimes lost me on where the functions where on the screen. But facilitator was patient with helping me catch up.

Well done John enjoyed the training and have no doubt this will benefit me in the future. Look forward to the advanced course.

I found this course to be very informative, well structured and at an excellent pace. John, our trainer, was very responsive to learner needs and individual pace whilst being able to ensure all members of the group were working towards their outcomes. Thank you. :)
