Stephen Spence

Stephen Spence, myself.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 (8 Days) (20/7/2008 to 27/7/2008)
"This is not a course for people who struggle to pick up new ideas quickly, the pace is very fast and the exams really test your knowledge. Our trainer was outstanding and answered all the questions we could throw at him, and also gave us lots of valuable advice from his real-world experience. He also contribute to a fun and positive atmosphere amoung the group. Lessons last all day from around 8:30am to any time in the evening (our earliest finish was around 10:30), with occasional short breaks, making the course very intensive. However, I believe everyone in our group has learned a huge amount and I would recommend the course to any IT professional who learns quickly, isnt afraid of some hard work and can function on little sleep!"
Karen Newitt, Prior Analytics.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 (8 Days) (20/7/2008 to 27/7/2008)
