“I had worked in the computer lab for six years, but this was my first yearteaching technology and I needed to strengthen my skills. The LearnKeycourseware taught me what I needed to get the program rolling.
The biggest benefit is that an expert – someone with real world experience and insight about the exam – teaches the course and demonstrates
step-by-step what you need to know. At the time, that was experience I didn’t have. I was staying two to three lessons ahead of the students!
When I finished the LearnKey course, I drove 40 miles to a testing center and passed the exam.
In my class the goal is to help students get certified. We use the LearnKey system as our main curriculum,
and it works!”
