What do course participants say about the class?

I was very happy with the Advanced WebWorks Publisher training. Not only was the teaching very good, but the written materials provided with the class were outstanding. We've used the materials to help train two contractors we've hired this year.

The training exceeded my expectations. We covered just the things I needed to learn, and for once in a training class, I didn't feel like things were dragging as people asked for basic explanations. The class size and the amount of training/experience each of us had worked out very well. I was especially happy that we had time to ask questions about our own templates and work and to share our experiences with each other.
