"The workshop was great and very helpful. Simply explained, useful information and good tools! I will use the skills i have further developed and use the tools provided to my benefit!"
"Outlook to me was just a repository for emails, but now it is transformed into a powerful automated planning tool. Thank you Mary! I also like how you consider typography when setting up the layout and solution."
"But also the programs were fabulous because they are really practical. It’s not just here’s how you use it. It’s really about how you embed it into your everyday work life which is what I like about it."
"The Australian Chamber Orchestra has engaged Priority for 15 years to conduct Outlook training, which is considered an important component of our induction process to assist with productivity. It’s always a pleasure to liaise with Priority Management. As a participant, I found the online workshop to be informative, educational, fun, and engaging."
"Brilliant presenter, kept the session engaging. Very knowledgeable without overloading"
"Brendan was awesome, I liked the way he made the training engaging and interactive although it was virtual. One of the very few virtual trainings I have enjoyed"
"It changed my life really. I felt like I’d been baptized at the end- I really felt so much lighter and freer! I’m in control of my life, actually I can, I can work the way I want to work."
"Nicky had had obviously prepared well and had customised the training for our unique needs. She made learning fun and delivered the content at the perfect pace."
"Thanks for putting on such amazing training sessions for our employees over the past 2 weeks, we have had incredible feedback about how valuable they found the Outlook training and how great a facilitator Dani is. One employee reached out saying it was the best training she has ever done, which is a testament to how good the content and facilitators are!"
"Nicky was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was comfortable with before going on to the next stage. Nicky’s interaction with us was amazing as she explained things well and nothing was a problem for her if someone needed help."
"I am very happy with the content, how Brendan facilitated the training etc. Everything was concise, meaningful and respectful."
"Mary was very knowledgeable on the material and able to answer any queries quickly and effectively, there are many strategies that I took from the training that will allow me to build on previous knowledge and be more effective working within Outlook."
"As a school Principal, I greatly value practical training that delivers immediate and measurable improvements in productivity. The "Working Sm@rt with Microsoft Outlook" workshop facilitated by Priority Management exceeded all expectations."
"I was hesitant on how much I could learn on an 8 hour outlook course but the course exceeded my expectations and I was surprised by how much I took away from the course."
"I had no idea of how much I didn’t know. This is a game changer for efficiency and organisation."
