What our customers are saying
He had a really flexible approach to the day. We were free to ask questions and deviated from materials quite a bit to allow us to get the maximum output from the time available.
John Mather
Toba was very knowledgeable and was able to pivot and answer specific questions on the fly. This was not a standard training course, more of a workshop because we already had prior knowledge of the product. We raised areas of specific pain for us within our organisation and he was able to either answer or offer possible solutions.
Karen Fidler
Toba is good trainer, he tried to explain us all details behind MS Project. Definitely encouraged me to do more in MS Project in my future work.
