We thought the knowledge and background of the instructor was excellent. Director Finance, Mitel Networks Corporation, Kanata.
Vision7 International / Cossette Communication
We organized with Avancer Learning Inc. customized Excel workshops for our finance/ operations team. The workshops addressed many issues we needed in our work and of all the workshops I have attended, this was perhaps one of the best in terms of content and methodology of training.

[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.

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
The [Productivity Tips and Tricks in Microsoft Word – Online] course was well laid out with excellent course materials. The presenter made every effort to ensure that his descriptions and comments were clear. We were not rushed while we were practising various procedures.
CIBC Rewards Center
We contracted with Paul to conduct two days of training one week apart and cover all levels of Excel. He customized the program for us and we were very impressed with the handouts and preloaded excel sheets to work on. Paul made the days interesting and the feedback from the attendees was excellent! 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.
