Paul is a pleasure to work with, his knowledge is very in-depth and he delivers his content to make it extremely interesting and engaging. Paul is passionate in his teaching, and displays great enthusiasm. Director, Professional Development Institute, Certified Management Accountants of Ontario.

[VBA for the Non-programmer online live workshop] The material covered in each session 1 – 4 was just the right amount of information. The Excel exercises were very well developed. There were a number of tasks so that slower students like myself can spend more time on Task 1 and faster students can do Task 2, Task 3, Task 4, and sometimes an Advanced Task. The VBA Syntax needs to show each part of the statement more clearly. I think if the formating was done differently, the VBA Syntax will stand out clearer on the page. Maybe put a box around the VBA Syntax.

Paul customized an in-house Excel workshop for intermediate Excel users. His thorough knowledge of Excel is impressive and he is master in creating an active learning environment. He is not only knowledgeable and informative; he has the real world experience to understand user’s needs. I would highly recommend Paul for Excel training.

[Instructor was] Very knowledgable and helpful.  [I] Fell behind in the first segment [VBA for the Non-programmer – online] and he stayed online after the first segment finished to help get me back on track.

[VBA for the Non Programmer] Subject matter is tricky – hence my enrolment – but so far, course has gone well and I understand more than I did before taking it.

[Productivity Tips and Tricks in Excel – 2 hour online live workshop] All of the tips provided were surprisingly new for me. I thought I knew alot about Excel but this instructor made me realize there is tons of things I don’t know. I will be hanging on to this training material so I can get alot of use out of these tips for excel – especially linking documents from excel to word or powerpoint.

“We organized with Avancer Learning Inc to conduct two workshops for our finance departments: A workshop on Excel for analysis and reporting and another one on Data-driven PowerPoint presentations with emphasis on advanced charting techniques.

[The Instructor was] Easy to understand and follow along with. He didn’t race along, kept the pace appropriate for the 2 hour length and made it easier to follow along and work through the practices. Overall a very satisfactory program [Effective data visualization with Excel] and one of the better online offerings I’ve attended in a long while. Much better than those with just a speaker talking on topic.

Despite varying levels of abilities, all participants learned both new tools in Excel and how to use Excel more efficiently (short-cuts, etc…). We received positive feedback from all participants. We thought the knowledge and background of the instructor was excellent. Director Finance, Mitel Networks Corporation, Kanata.
