Computer Magic Training

I have taken 2 Excel classes so far and am looking forward to more. The people are great, so helpful and knowledgeable. The classes/​instructors are very good. I’ve taken a number of business and computer classes over the years but my Hat’s Off to Computer Magic for the entire experience. Special thanks to Ilene!
Looking forward to my upcoming class and beyond.

Sitting for 6 hours is tough no matter what subject one is learning, though I feared that a six hour Excel I class might actually kill me with boredom. WRONG!
I cannot tell you how thrilled I was with this course: it flew by; the instructor was awesome (patient, thorough, patient, knowledgeable, patient); the material she covered was exactly what I needed to know with no fluff; and the examples/​practice lessons were relevant and actually fun (did I say fun? who knew making pretty graphs would be cool?)
I no longer fear numbers, sums, charts, lists, printing spreadsheets, or being asked to fix formatting nightmares. I learned that F keys are useful for more than holding your pen on the keyboard, and to embrace the words ‘function,’ ‘formula,’ and the «auto sum» key.
Did I mention that they let you retake any course as many times as you want, for free, no time restrictions?
Observations:
* The place is really clean
* The staff is very polite and helpful
* Debby Brown, my instructor (and former 4^th grade teacher) was totally awesome
* The classrooms seat no more than 15 people (from what I could tell), so classes are small
* The bathroom is clean (hey, it matters)
* They use Microsoft 2007 (but also offer 2003), and the computer stations are clearly maintained: keyboards, chairs, and tables were spotless (what is nastier than a funky keyboard?)
* Parking is plentiful
I will be back.
Thanks Debby! :)

The training rooms are well equipped, ergonomically sound, and pleasantly furnished. Acoustics are very good, making it easy to hear the instructor.
The management offers coffee and tea, mid-​morning rolls/​pastries, and mid-​afternoon cookies and fruit. All at no charge. The mgmt provides little extras for service that make a difference in the learning environment.
I took Project 2010 classes for 3 full days with instructor Gene Moirao. He is a superb instructor who knows the subject matter of project management, as well as the software. Gene adapts easily to different learning styles.

I took a Excel Level 1 class today at Computer Magic. Maria, the trainer was excellent. She went through a lot of information in only 6 hours. I learned a lot of Excel tips and tricks. I highly recommend Computer Magic. The facility was clean and neat. The office building was surrounded by Redwood trees… and did I forget to mention the ducks hanging out in the parking lot? We were given 2 fifteen minutes breaks. One in the AM and one in the PM. And a 1 hour lunch. I especially liked the hands on training. Students are given a PC to work from. I also appreciated the small class size. I am already planning on taking their Excel Level 2 course in June! Thank you Maria for such a wonderful experience!

An outstanding experience! Great staff, environment & I learned a ton! Can’t wait to take more classes there!

I was extremely impressed by the quality of the course and friendliness of the staff at Computer Magic Training. With the help of Michelle, I was able to coordinate a private group course for my company for PowerPoint 10 with a great instructor, Kirk Mossing. The class was tailored specifically for our needs and all of them were met, even in a short time frame. The staff was extremely friendly, and they even offered snacks and coffee!
I would highly recommend this center and would definitely return for more PowerPoint classes or other Microsoft Office areas.

I took a 6 hour beginning excel class here for my job. I was worried the class would be very boring and long but I was pleasantly surprised that it was entertaining. The class size was nice and small which allowed for individualized attention. There’s hands on lessons and practice which keeps the class engaging. The instructor was upbeat, attentive and smiling throughout.
We each received a manual and a certificate of completion at the end of the course. They also offer snacks, coffee, tea and water throughout training to help keep you awake.
I walked away with valuable knowledge of beginning excel and they also offer a help line if I ever need assistance. I can also come back and re-​take the class for no charge if there is room in the class. Someone in my class said they offer 50% discount for those who are unemployed. For approximately $ 250 a class, 50% would be a heck of a deal.
