TESTIMONIALS

I attended the 10 week Labour and Advanced Education Microsoft Office Rock Star course with Matthew Guy in the fall of 2017. Matthew’s passion and enthusiasm was contagious and the breadth and depth of his understanding of the Microsoft suite of products was astounding! I went into the course with quite a bit of knowledge and experience to begin with; but with Matthew’s instruction (as well as the support of a very engaged group of students – we had a blast together!), I was able to bring my skills up to advanced levels. I really did feel like a Rock Star after 40 hours with Matthew. It was time well-spent and an excellent investment in my future. (Tammy Richard, Truro, NS)
