Testimonials
Cynthia Doucet, Office Manager, W.B. MacRae Developments Ltd.
I have used Sage for several years, however there were always a few things I couldn’t figure out. One was year end procedures and the other was how to pre-pay an invoice. Not only did I learn and understand these two issues, I learned easier techniques on certain things I was entering. I am now extremely confident as my year end duties are approaching. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to take this course and also meet so many great new people.
Mike Diggdon, Owner, Highland Beverages
The knowledge that I have obtained from taking Microsoft Excel will save me a huge amount of time and money. It will allow me to maintain and track important information that is crucial to my business.
Denise Halloran, Executive Director, Guysborough County Home Support Agency
The Microsoft Excel course has made me so much more efficient in creating spreadsheets, which helps me produce more accurate data regarding client care and support.
Patricia Van Zutphen, Owner and Manager of Clove Hitch Bar & Bistro and Four Mermaids Gift Shop
Over the last 2 years I have participated in 5 Workplace Education courses hosted by the Chamber. They provided me with educational opportunities to learn and develop as an entrepreneur. The growth of my business is a true demonstration of the influence and quality of these programs.
