Thank you for honoring my booking and not cancelling the course. I will in turn, always use Dynamic Training for all my training needs. The instructor was very enthusiastic and passionate about his work and very competent as hoped.

Very helpful for my future employment - the trainer was extremely experienced and knowledgeable about the history of computer and I found that invaluable.
(5.00 out of 5) Julia G [ 28 February, 2017 ]
This course was extremely helpful to me as although I am familiar with Word and other MS products, there are gaps in my knowledge and these have now been filled. I was privileged to have one on one instruction owing to other participants' cancellation so this was an added bonus.
