...based on my previous limited exposure to Microsoft Excel I was especially grateful for your taking the time to explore with me whether that was the program that would suit my current need.  Your suggestion to invest in another more appropriate program and then follow up with any training that might be needed made a lot of sense.

Thank you again for your time, expertise and patience.

This past summer I took a class with Tony Holowitz.  Before the class I have to admit I was a bit concerned if I’d be able to keep up, computers make me so nervous.  Tony was able to make me feel very comfortable and explained what to do so well I really learned how to use the Excel program I was being taught.  He went slow enough and yet was thorough so I had a good handle on how to continue to improve myself independently with the program…

Excel training will give participants an understanding of the basic functions of Microsoft Excel. During the session participants will receive training on many different uses of Microsoft Excel, including an introduction to the formulas available and their uses.

The Excel 1 class is designed for those who are new to Microsoft Excel. A basic knowledge of working within Microsoft Word  environment is desirable, but not necessary.

Our Excel 2 class explores options and techniques more experienced users would appreciate.
