Student Testimonials

"I really enjoyed this course - The Instructor made it simple, interesting but informative enough so that anybody with little exposure to Outlook could benefit. I enjoyed reading both the lesson chapters and watching the accompanying lesson videos, because they complement each other, and visually, it helped me learn more. I also enjoyed the Tests and Assignments as they help you practise, and test your understanding of the sequential steps needed to perform a task on Outlook. Overall, I enjoyed this course and even binge-studied some lessons. It was a fun course, and has increased my confidence in Outlook." -- Richard B.
"I think it was very helpful. I understand a much more, when one of my peers ask me to do something, I don't have to ask how to do it now." -- Stuart S.
"It was very helpful, altogether! I have a bit more background in working with technology than some individuals I think this course might be designed for, so there were, at times, lessons that felt a bit on the easy side, but I was still satisfied by how much the course revealed to me which I hadn't already known about Outlook. I feel that it polished existing skills and provided a clear, robust understanding of what the program offers." -- Em C.
"Showed me some things that I didn't know outlook could do. Very informative." -- James C.
"The way lessons were organized into topical areas. Thank you for the rapid feedback." -- Michael B.
"The program was great and the videos that went along with the outline was great to see a visual." -- Raychelle F.
"The videos for the lessons were great." -- Maria P.
"The instructor was very clear and understanding for this course. All was very helpful, he couldn't have did a better job." -- Deborah T.

"Everything was really well explained." -- Alicia R.
