Student Reviews:
"The course was very interesting. I need to spend more time with the information to learn and understand more." -Robyn (Mar 1999)
"I really enjoyed this course. I now have a much better understanding of the systems used in managing companies. Thank You!" -Asher (Mar 1999)
"The content was appropriate. The material was a little vague and generic at times as and the test often asked specific questions. At times it was challenging and required a little more thought than simply memorizing material and testing. Good course looking forward to more classes." -Johnny (Mar 1999)
