What people say about our training

Loved the fact that I could sit in a private room and ask my questions privately as if it was a one on one course. Loved the fact that all that I needed (books, headset & candy) were provided way in advance.

This course was fantastic. It exceeded my expectations and I now feel educated and confident about working with Quickbooks on my own. The trainer was a fantastic instructor who had lots of useful information, and did a great job of continually reviewing what we had covered and making sure I understood everything. I am very happy with this service.
