Realizing that prospective clients truly don’t have the luxury of time to attend a traditional full day or multi-week computer class to learn just the topics they need, Snippet Training was formed. With Snippet Training, you learn only the computer skills that you need when you need it. For example, in a given class you can learn some topics in Excel, some features in PowerPoint and perhaps some shortcuts in Word, all in one class.
