However, this is a growing problem. The formats of the educational sessions have varied from a 30 minute introductory session to multi-session workshops involving more than 10 hours of contact time. Participants seem to enjoy working on the computer. This is the most rewarding part of the educational experience for all involved. Students feel good because they feel they have learned something to help them with their record keeping.
Instructors feel good because they have helped the students realize that they can use the software.
As mentioned earlier, we do not have waiting lists for folks wanting to get into Quicken training sessions. We have simply not had enough experience turning folks away from meetings to try to enforce enrollment limitations. More instructors to help with the training would be helpful in this situation and we have been moving in this direction. The ability to offer more sessions would also be advantageous. Still, there is only so much time.
