Trainer recommendation

Horváth Elek

Horváth Elek trainer

When I signed up for my first IT course, it was to be able to write and edit a simple text document because I felt that documents would soon no longer be handwritten. Many years have passed since then, but I still clearly remember how great it felt when I could navigate word processing programs without any help.

Suggested For

The course can be recommended for complete beginners, but also for those who are already familiar with other word processing programs, because it provides logical and quick-to-learn knowledge. The training provides effectively usable knowledge for people who will be responsible for the everyday use of Google Docs, creating, formatting and printing simple text documents.
