Course Reviews
(4.70 out of 5) Daniel W [ 13 October, 2021 ]
The course was informative and started with the basics. It's a good course for someone who knows very little about Word.
(5.00 out of 5) Andrea S [ 25 August, 2021 ]
After 25 years of no formal training, this was a valuable update and assistance. Mark was great - easy to understand and patient.
(4.40 out of 5) Sophia M [ 26 July, 2021 ]
The course, 26 July, has been very helpful. The number of participants seems about right.
I have been using Word for a long time, for university and for work, however, I have never been formally taught how to use Word, so there are many simple things that I do not know about.
I was very happy to learn some of the basic tricks on Word!
The pace was good. There is lots of information, so it was good that there was not too much too fast, and there were enough breaks.
(5.00 out of 5) Nicole P [ 26 July, 2021 ]
This was my first online course and I was very hesitant to do this course online. Overall I thought it was a great first experience. Wayne was a fantastic facilitator he was patient, easy to understand and gave great working examples. I have used Word previously but learnt a lot in the beginners course. It will help a lot when I head back into the workforce after a long break. As well as gaining more knowledge for tables, superscript/subscript, I also learnt about Windows Snap and how to use Zoom better. I would do another online course with Dynamic
