I have been helping people overcome this fear since 1984. What motivates me is the feeling I get when a person learns a skill that makes their life easier, and gets over the fear. It's the proverbial light bulb going off. I specifically made it a point to have a Macintosh curriculum here at the CompUSA Training Center. When we show people the power of Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter, and the other versatile applications, they are amazed.
People have to perform a procedure over and over to lock in into their brains.
By investing one to three days with our classes, the participants are productive, with new skills. Let's have a summary of your thoughts up to this point, please. Mac training is alive and well. I live by it. Students are encouraged to load the same material on their home computers to go back through exactly what they learned during the class.
