    -Melanie Baker, TMR - 13/12/2022

    "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."

    -Kathleen Donohue - 21/07/2023

    -Dominique Marendy, Department of Primary Industry

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!"

    -Sara Learmonth, L\'Oréal - 11/05/23

    -Thomas Davies, The University of Sydney - 28/06/2023
