"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."

"Went into the course thinking I would learn a few tips on using MO more efficiently, came out with a breakthrough on how I could be the high performer I want to be and still have a life."
"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 thought it was great! Probably one of the best trainings we’ve had at our face-to-face."

"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 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."

"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!"

"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."

"I am very happy with the content, how Brendan facilitated the training etc. Everything was concise, meaningful and respectful."

"I had no idea of how much I didn’t know. This is a game changer for efficiency and organisation."

"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."

"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."

"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."
"Fantastic training, while I'm fully capable with using google, ive never known all the ins and outs and features designed to make you more productive. Very illuminating"

"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."
