"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"

"The course and facilitator were great and therefore was served well. I learnt so many new things. Our facilitator was a great teacher. Very knowledgeable, spoke at a good pace."

"A HUGE thank you for the OneNote training that I completed. Having completed courses previously, I was expecting similar basic content and a struggle to say engaged. I was pleasantly surprised by Marys knowledge and ability to engage all attendees from beginners through to more advanced users, covering a range of skills, including more advanced use scenarios. I learnt a lot and have already applied many of the skills that I learnt."

"I recently had the privilege of taking a refresher course on Microsoft Outlook, and it was nothing short of transformative. It was a wake-up call for me, realizing that I had been using Outlook for years, yet there was so much more to learn and exploit."
"Brilliant presenter, kept the session engaging. Very knowledgeable without overloading"

"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."

"Great, clear delivery from facilitator, easy to understand, kept my interest and focus throughout the course."

"They’re always there to support you and they’ve even made the Most staunchly paper driven people challenge what they do and find a way to be paper light, if not paper gone."

"Such a great course. Thoroughly enjoyed the training and learned so many new things that I know will benefit both myself and the organisation."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
