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 feel that it polished existing skills and provided a clear, robust understanding of what the program offers." -- Em C.
