From a previous attendee
The PCCI's Mac OS X Fundamentals training accelerated my learning
curve. I don't feel like a newbie anymore. I had my two daughters
(ages 10 and 11) with me in the same class and they appreciated the
new learnings they got. Thanks to Dominique James for recommending
the class and to Mark Miranda for teaching it well - even with young
kids in the class. - Lino Nabong
I discovered a lot about what the Mac can do, because the instructor showed things step-by-step. The instructor was also very accommodating to questions, no matter how “stupid” the questions sounded.- Dail Deri, professional photographer
