Economic Stimulus Act
The IRS started sending Tax Rebates on Monday to stimulate the sluggish economy. How will you spend your $600 windfall? Do you really need another iPod? CNN recommended Monday that you invest in your future with some additional education to strengthen your job skills. “During a recession, your job security is Issue #1. So, think about taking some of your rebate check money to upgrade your skills.”

If investing in your future success sounds like a smart decision, consider taking classes beyond the usual …like Excel Tips & Tricks, Preparing Effective Presentations, or PowerPoint Level 3 Masters Class. Here are links to our class schedules: Print our Catalog and Online Schedule. Also consider our Personal Training 1-on-1 with an expert trainer/consultant to learn the exact skills you need to succeed!

Come Join the Summer Fun
Please save the date of Friday, July 18th. You are invited to attend an Open House with free Mini-Seminars, networking opportunities, and refreshments. Hope to see you there!

Too busy to spend 6 hours in a classroom?
Want to move at a faster pace than a group? Prefer to focus on your specific needs? Want productivity tips on multiple software programs in the same day? Our Personal Training / Tutoring programs may be perfectly suited for you. If you’re a person for whom time is money, you appreciate the value of time well-spent and saved. Personal Training gives you a fully focused, individually tailored learning experience.

Maintain Productivity while Making the Transition to Office 2007
Is your office planning to upgrade to the revolutionary Microsoft Office 2007? Be sure to plan your training along with your software upgrade to avoid leaving your employees in the lurch. This is not an intuitive upgrade, and users really need help with this transition. Eliminate the pain of low productivity and morale by proactively providing training support for your people. Please contact Sharon@ComputerMagicTraining.com or (408) 261-2600 to get more information on the various options for Office Upgrade classes – full day or half day modules, public enrollment or corporate group classes.

Learn in Comfort
Our devotion to quality is reflected in the comfort and decor of our classroom facilities, as well as in the technical quality of our classroom equipment. All-new Dell computers with ultra-sharp 19” Dell flat-panel monitors, incredibly comfortable chairs and desks, and warm colorful surroundings all make for an amazing learning environment. Our students notice and compliment us on the difference! They frequently tell us they are loyal to Computer Magic Training because of the wonderful environment, along with the best instructors. And our friendly, helpful customer service. Oh, and our visiting dogs too! More on our friendly doggies next month!

New Soft Skills Class: Preparing Effective Presentations
Our new class, “Preparing Effective Presentations” was a fabulous success! Held for the first time on April 23rd, the laughter and applause coming through the walls made the students in our other (Excel Level 2) class jealous! Feedback from our students was great – they loved Maria’s new book and presentation of the class. They wanted even more time and content, and requested we extend the class to 2 days! We truly value our students’ feedback. And so we did! Starting in July, we will offer 2 new classes: Preparing Effective Presentations Level 1, and Delivering Effective Presentations Level 2. We’ll be adding even more great material to the class and providing more time in Level 2 to practice delivering your Presentations in front of the class. (Sound scary? – then you really need this class!)
