NIGHT SCHOOL - MAKING A DIFFERENCE
ACCESS 2013 – VBA
Instructor: Ken Hewitt, 067
“I learned a lot in this class and will be able to handle data analysis much more efficiently. The class was
Super-Fantastic.”
“Ken is a great instructor and I enjoyed both Access classes that I have taken with Ken. I have applied a
lot of what I have learned to my current position.”
“Ken’s classes are very informative and full of information on the topics. I learned new and better way
to perform tasks at work.”
EXCEL 2013, PARTS I & II
Instructor: Brandy Smith, X44
“Good class and very useful in my daily work. I have used Microsoft Excel for years without any formal
training. I learned something new in each class session.”
“Part II of this course showed me more things that I could apply to my job. I feel this course is very
helpful as well as the instructor.”
“Enjoyed learning with Brandy. She would even give students information about how she would use
excel and extra tips that the book may not have that she learned and wanted to share with her students.
I am using what I learned in this class on my job, and the tips learned in this class with my co-workers.”
FIRST AID/CPR/AED
Instructor: George Bradby, Dept. 027
“I have not had an occasion where I have had to perform CPR, but it is always great knowledge to have
because I would rather know how to perform CPR and not have to use it then to not know how to
perform CPR and have a situation occur. Thank you for teaching that class here in the shipyard, I will
be taking it again soon as my license is about to expire.”
“This class was very informative and increased my awareness on handling emergency situations. I
highly recommend the instructor and subject matter.”
“I would recommend this course to be taught to all supervisors and managers in strenuous positions.
The instructor is highly recommended.”
