We needed more exercises on mathematical calculations using the functions (FX) tab, and the instructions for the exercises were not clear. The steps were either out of order or some steps were missing from the in-class assignments.

Was not too impressed about their website! Service can be good though.

Challenging to follow along in class. No syllabus given, text book provide in electronic format only, physical study guide provided. However, studying the material is difficult as there is agenda to follow.

I felt like the instructor was very knowledge-able and helpful with questions. The book seemed thorough, but I would have liked a more in-depth instruction. A lot of the exercises we did were not done in relation to real-life circumstances. It would have been more helpful if it had followed the book more in format with describing what we want to do, then instructing us how to do it. Instead they mostly showed us how to do a variety of things without giving us a great understanding of why we might want to utilize them for ourselves.

The class was informative and a welcome 1st step to Quick Books. However, the first hour and a half was spent introducing ourselves and learning how to set up a new Company with the software. I’m at a company that is already using Quick Books, therefore the first 1.5 hours were a waste of time. We didn’t get through the entire outline because I felt there was too much talking with regards to examples. I felt some examples could have been edited for the sake of time. This would have allowed our class to cover the entire outline. I do like that I can retake the class within the first 6 months. I plan on retaking at a different location in hopes that the entire outline is covered.

I registered and completed Excel 1-2 and 3. All the instructors were very skilled and passionate while teaching. At times, in Excel-3 the instructor moved a little fast, but I just asked questions to balance the pace. Overall, the classes were great and I have my training manuals to reference if I have any questions. I would have liked to receive practice tutorials from all three classes to work on at home.

The training system used is one in which the student must be self motivated and follow up on their own. The classes are detailed and help is available via email or telephone but are geared towards the student being somewhat familiar with the subject.

Classes are very brief. There is no practice during class time. When working on Mastery Builders there is way to figure out what your'e doing wrong. They do not provide answers so you don't know what your'e doing wrong. The workbooks are good but your'e pretty much taking this class on your own.
