Microsoft Project & Microsoft Excel. Most of
instruction through a dynamic instructor will
enhance what you retain. New to Microsoft
Project program. It was all new, but I felt at
home using it because of the class material and
the time the instructors took to make sure no
one was left behind"

problems were well designed to illustrate key
concepts"

"Hands on instruction, with an example that was
relevant and everyone could follow"
"The process of showing (demonstrating) and then
performing the task works much better than
trying to follow simultaneously. Very good
explanations of project management"
"Having the opportunity to practice the various
tasks on the laptop PC. Presentation of tracking
and forecasting of projects"
"I learned a lot of valuable info. Many training
classes have limited applicability to my job or
the presentation is incomplete - not so here"
I appreciated the time spent with individuals to
be sure each was "up to speed" before
continuing.
