Student Reviews:
"After using Word for a number of years I expected the introduction course to offer very little in the ways of new information. I was pleasantly surprised, however, when I not only came away with far more knowledge than I entered with, but also discovered quicker methods to achieve a desired result."
"I enjoyed taking this course on Microsoft Word. The lessons were clear and easy to understand. I like the convenience of the on-line instruction. This course helped to update my job skills."
"I enjoyed the instructors' style of teaching. I needed this course to help me learn Word and not struggle any more. Many of us simply don't have the time to sit in a classroom so this forum (online) for me was the only answer. It met and exceeded my expectations. I will be signing up for more classes."
"I enjoyed this very much. I have already started on the next level. I wish I had started taking these courses earlier in the year. I have a new job and the knowledge would have made my adjustment easier."
"I found this class very helpful!! Some of my friends thought they could teach me everything - but no way. There is a lot to cover and it was presented in a way you could follow along and understand everything completely. It was worth my time!! Keep up the good work!!"
"I had read the enthusiastic comments by former students and was impressed and curious, so I registered for the class. The price also attracted me! I was very pleased with the class materials, the instructor, and the whole set-up of the class. Online learning is convenient and painless. You don't have to worry about asking a "stupid" question, because nobody knows you! Lessons are divided into manageable chunks, and are well-organized. I learned a lot, and highly recommend this class."
"I really enjoyed the class, especially the ability to go at my own pace."
"I really had a lot of fun taking this on-line course, it is my first! I did not know a single thing before I started this course about microsoft word, so the teacher must be good! I am one of those people who had electric typewriters in high school, and never took a computer course before, so I am feeling pretty good."
"I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I found it interesting and easy to follow. I especially liked the convenience of taking it online at home. I have learned so much and by printing every lesson I now have a reference book to help me if I have any problems in the future. Thank you very much, I look forward to taking other online courses."
"Thank you for providing such a user-friendly method of taking an online course. I learned a great deal and plan to take more online courses with this particular instructor over the next few months."
