I'm Itching to Use the Skills I Have Been Taught
"The Instructor clearly had a love of what he does and that energy towards the subject (Camtasia) was evident and he was able to make modules that might otherwise be tedious or less flashy equally important and easy to listen to and understand. I came in with no experience in Camtasia and after the 2 day instruction I feel almost entirely too confident and itching to use the skills I have been taught. I could not recommend him enough." - Rob B., U.S. Navy (Private TechSmith Camtasia Training)

Smaller, More Intimate Class Size Made Asking Questions Easier
“Was not entirely sure what to expect from this live online Camtasia training, but was Surprised, pleasantly so! This was a great instructor and the smaller, more intimate class size made it so asking questions was not intimidating! Sean took the time to answer everything thoroughly.” – Savannah B., The Nelrod Company (Online Camtasia Training)
