What people say about our training

I was able to go from zero to hero with the training materials, coupled by the instructor's experiences. Every training course should be this easy.

I absolutely recommend Webucator's Rapid Introduction to Microsoft Project 2016 course.

This course was very helpful to our getting started using Apache for our Ellucian Banner 9 migration.

You could easily tell that our instructor knew Google Analytics very well. We didn't ask one question that she didn't have a solution to! I'd overwhelmingly recommend her as a GA instructor!
