I feel from this course today I expanded on my prior knowledge. I walked away from todays session knowing a few more keyboard short cuts and a few new things. I found it quite valuable and I would definitely do another course in the future.
I have a much greater understanding of word now! I will be much faster at using it, and have many more skills to show :)
Cath was extremely patient and helpful covering all the topics of the course at a great pace that was easy to digest.
I learned a lot of good tips, short cuts and ways to work more efficiently. Jill was a great instructor who was also funny.
