Professional Development Webinar Participant, Toronto

[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.

Professional Development Webinar Participant, Toronto

[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.

This was quite an accomplishment as most of the participants use Excel for specific reporting purposes and Paul was able to pull it together for everyone. We would highly recommend Paul to anyone thinking of Excel training, these sessions were excellent!  Director of Operations, Merit Loyalty Services, Mississauga.

Professional Development Webinar Participant, Toronto

[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.
