A great course that takes the time to actually teach you the system. Everything I've learned is by doing, it was nice to see easier ways or other ways to do things.

Feels like one on one learning even though a remote/online service
"Think BIG. Learn Smart allowed me to have what feels like one on one learning even though a remote/online service. The connection was great and the instructors response to questions and knowledge about the topic was great." - Courtney, ArmyEd (Online Microsoft Word Training Course)

The training was wonderful and I learned quite a bit
"The training was wonderful and I learned quite a bit of new information throughout the 2 days. I would recommend having two trainers alternate lessons to make it more fluid and allow the primary trainer to have a break in between and to help prepare for the next lesson. Our intructor was absolutely incredible and it amazes me when she can switch in between different versions of Word. I could see how it would be frustrating to some - however, she made it fairly fluid and seamless. I would highly recommend anyone who works with any version of Word to attend this course." - Jessica, ArmyEd (Microsoft Word Training)
