★★★★★
“I took the Access Computer Training A+ course in January of 2022. Because of Covid19 we did everything online, but it was like you were in the classroom. My instructor, Mike, was a great teacher. He explained all the chapters in the A+ Certification Guide to a point where I understood it very well. While I was studying to take the exam I found an ad on a website for a help desk level 1 person. I figured I’d go in take the interview and see how good I would be before I took the exam. To my surprise I did very well. I got the job even though I didn’t take the exam yet. All thanks to Mike’s great teaching. Now I am still studying to take the exam and they put me at a level 2 help desk tech. Working with Kristin Pelletier and Mike McQuain was very good. They helped me with any problem I had.”
★★★★★
“From our first conversation this lady right here has changed me, has changed my outlook on what I CAN do. I have always tried, throughout my years, to go back to school and I have but have always quit. (Life got in the way) Well not this time. I have mostly worked in an office environment and thought I knew Microsoft applications very well. Well Kristin showed me more than I ever thought the program was capable of doing. I have gone from a 20% knowledge of Microsoft to a whopping 90% knowledge. If you are looking to go back to school, Access Computer Training is the best place to start. They guide you through it all and you don’t fall through the cracks. The instructors are amazing, understanding and help you the entire way. Don’t go anywhere else call Kristin, you will not be disappointed.”
