Training Courses
Instructor-led Microsoft Office training, essential computer skills, and IT certification bootcamps designed for real-world competence — not shortcuts. My classes are practical, hands-on, and shaped by over 30 years of field experience.
Many sessions naturally include historical context — how tools evolved, why things work the way they do, and what changed — because understanding the why often makes modern systems easier to master.
Training is available live online nationwide and onsite anywhere — we come to you.

IT Certification Bootcamps
Certification bootcamps are intensive, fast-paced courses designed for serious students preparing for professional-level exams. These courses cover advanced concepts, tools, and troubleshooting techniques and require significant effort outside of class.
Important Bootcamp Expectations
If you’re unsure whether a bootcamp is the right next step, please contact us before enrolling.
Bootcamps are not magic pills. You cannot absorb thousands of pages of technical material in a couple of weeks and pass an exam designed for professional mastery without discipline, study, and hands-on practice.
While no formal prerequisites are mandated:
- These exams are written for experienced professionals
- Students without strong fundamentals should expect a steep learning curve
- Extensive study outside class is required
- Bootcamps organize and accelerate learning — they do not replace real-world experience
