The training provided by Microsoft - Saksham held during March 2015 was very informative. We were taught tip and tricks for various Microsoft products. Further, the participants were exposed to new MsOffice 2013 and Windows 8. Above all, all the learning was through hands-on. The trainers were well informed, experienced and patient. We feel fortunate to have been participant of such a useful course.

The workshop was very informative, relevant and presented in an interesting and interactive manner. It will help us on so many levels, the way we teach our students, our kids at home, the way we share information at office. We as dentists, conduct lot of  research surveys. hence, the facility and knowledge of conducting online surveys will really help conduct and analyze results. it will help in writing and preparing manuscripts for publishing in journals, and in citing references. we have around 200 students under us, for whom we need to prepare attendance sheets, mark sheets, result cards etc. this course will be extremely helpful to us. I would recommend one and all to attend this course. Finally, I am extremely thankful to our mentors Sandeep Sir & Gaurav Sir , for all their help and patience. Thank you so much Microsoft !!!
