It was a great course which helped me remember things I had forgotten and some new functions that I greatly appreciated.
a great foundation to using Word, I knew most of the functions but there was a few surprises and functions that I will incorporate into my workflow, and I'm glad I attended. Cath was a great teacher, very patient, kind and funny
WORD BEGINNER - Jill has been very educational and assisted with the questions. Class was productive, smooth and easy.
The course was very easy to work through. The instructions and process were clear and well structured, and the trainer answered all our questions with impressive efficiency. Their knowledge and guidance made the learning experience genuinely valuable.
I found completing the Word Beginner course highly beneficial, as it covered some foundational formatting and quick-key steps that will make my daily use of Word more efficient. While I have been a long-term user of Word, I have generally learnt to use the software organically and in an unstructured way. The course also helped me prepare me for learning about the use of Word at an intermediate level.
Very informative course from a very knowledgeable tutor. Clear instruction and intuitive steering of the course to meet our experience or lack of.
I learned way more than I was expecting. There were many smart tricks surrounding formatting which I expect to use often.
Great introductory course, i use word at work but have never had any training and have not really used a majority of its features. This course helped me to learn a few more basics that i can now use in real world.
A very well run introduction course for Microsoft Word. The trainer Cath was great and very insightful, knowledgeable and patient.
Extremely well run course. The trainer Cath is brilliant and so helpful and patient. My knowledge of Microsoft Word has been greatly enhanced. Thanks
Some really good topics covered especially Tabs and Navigating with KeyBoard. Jay was great and clear
Dani is amazing! She made everyone feel comfortable and made it very easy to understand each and every step. I cant wait to be able to use all this, Cant wait to do the intermediate course.
Dani was excellent. Taught us at a good pace, kept checking in with everyone to make sure they were on track, answered all questions, and clarified everything we were unsure on.
It has been very useful as i have learnt to navigate the word program, a lot better now than before.
I found the course very helpful and you were very patient and guided me through each step. Your patience was amazing Thank you so much. Kind regards, Donna
