Educational, informative and fun!

I have never worked on Visio before and Leo made it easy for me to learn as she was more practical than theoretical which helped me to do the work on my side instead of only listening. It was a great 2-day session that was educational, informative and fun.

Has helped me take my skills to a whole new level!

I really enjoyed the course, lots of tips and made my work so much easier to do. I attended an advance course (with another company), and it was information overload. With Key Steps, I feel the examples used were better and more practical. The course kept my attention and has helped me take my skills to a whole new level. I recommend this to everyone using Excel. Thanks so much!
