"I recently completed the PowerPoint, Microsoft Office, and Excel training with Sharmeen, and I'm thrilled with the experience! As a complete beginner, I was intimidated by these powerful tools, but Sharmeen broke down complex concepts into easy-to-understand modules.
The training was engaging, interactive, and perfectly paced. She provided clear explanations, practical examples, and hands-on exercises that helped me build confidence and skills.
Sharmeen Akhtar is an exceptional trainer who truly cares about their students' success. I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to improve their Microsoft Office skills. Thank you, Sharmeen Akhtar, for an outstanding learning experience!"

“I joined the Computer and Digital Literacy class, with no prior experience of computers. However, after just eight sessions, I have gained the confidence and skills to write emails and book my doctor’s appointments independently. This incredible progress would not have been possible without the exceptional guidance of our course facilitator, Sharmeen. She created a collaborative, encouraging, and motivating learning environment including the interpreter services. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and the invaluable skills I have learned through this training.”
