Professional training, great teacher! As an over 20 year user of Excel, I thought I would just sharpen my office skills. I learned sooo much more. Kristin is a compassionate trainer who cares about her students. She is always willing to give extra time be certain everyone is keeping up. No matter what you think you know, there is so much more to learn and Access Computer Training is just the place to learn it!

Even with a Master's Degree, you still need to keep up to date with your computer skills. ACT is the best place to do that!

Kristin Pelletier has a knack for making learning fun! When I began at Access Computer Training, my skills were sorely lacking; when I left I was completely comfortable with the MS Office suite. For both individuals and employers, ACT is Tampa's best choice.
