" Ever since the industrial evolution, global energy consumption has exploded, and its not letting up. Using all this energy results in carbon emissions, and this is affecting the Earth's climate. If we want to slow climate change, we need to think in new ways .."

Steen Riisgaard, Novozymes 2008.

What are the results?

Many of our students are in remote and very remote areas and cannot attend conventional training. In addition many others do not want to be in a competitive group or classroom situation, they like the flexibility that our system offers.

Here is an email comment from a user:

'Thank you so much for the course. I have had a chance to do one hour so far. I find this course so clear. The way you have set it up has taken away all the resistance I had to learning FrontPage while trying to use the Microsoft tutorial (either CD or booklet).  At each step of your course I experience the realization that this is an easy and friendly program, after all. If you like I will send more feedback as I progress through the course.'

from another user:

The course is great, very detailed and allowing me to grasp better, lots of 'cad' info.

and another:

The short movies are really useful. As the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words". I admire the way you are able to combine your computer skills with your CAD skills to provide a course like this.

Hi Dr West,

 Please find attached the piece of work I did yesterday in InDesign. It almost took me ages to complete but saved my company some cash! I will get faster I’m sure as it is becoming easier. I still have a lot to learn but I am so enjoying it, I am in danger of neglecting my more menial tasks! Thanks for your really great training. One on one worked brilliantly for me and I could tell so much work had gone into your delivery method of teaching on-line. I was really impressed.

 Thanks for your dedication to excellence,

 Kind Regards,

Alice
