Classes are held in your office, generally in groups of 2 or more.  Class sessions are sensitive to your peak hours of operation, and are scheduled to provide the least interruption to your business day.  Sessions are typically 2-3 hours maximum, in order to assure maximum attention and participation by your employees.

We provide unique fun and attention getting techniques, which are certain to keep your staff interested and engaged.  For instance, during Q&A periods free candy and trinkets (pens, stress balls, etc.) are passed out to employees who answer questions correctly.  The mood is kept lively but professional (and occasionally competitive) at all times.  Periodically, we present "Stupid Microsoft Office Tricks"; demonstration of interesting, and sometimes strange features and capabilities within Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.  Ever hear of software "Easter Eggs"?  We will show you some cool ones.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed!  Every employee is required to fill out a brief survey at the end of each session.  If the average rating for the class falls below "Good", we will discount your rate for the session by 50%.  If the average rating falls below "Fair", we will discount the session by 75%

"Power Users" of Microsoft Excel use less than 35% of Excel functionality according to studies conducted by Microsoft. 

The average Excel business user can effectively increase their proficiency in a single 2 hour targeted course, focusing on the users specific business role.

You can't necessarily stop your employees from surfing the Internet, playing PC games, or checking personal email.

You can minimize their lost productivity caused by lack of effective PC skills training.
