Reviews for Business Training Online

Business Training Online are rated 4.4 stars based on 598 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • Definitely a 5 star to Mr. Geraldy! He is so knowledgeable, all information shared is extremely valuable. I could now be happier! More than worth the time and money invested!
  • Very informative and knows how to keep the room interesting in regards to exercises and role playing... Looking forward for the next workshop session, Thanks once again for the opportunity ??
  • I just completed my class with Silvia, and I cannot say enough about how helpful the 6 week workshop was for me. The two prong approach confronting expenses tied to your emotions together with introducing the practical management of expenses through a very useful budgeting document allowed me to see the big picture and project how small changes in behavior can drastically affect my future finances. I am not someone who enjoys budgeting or numbers, but I looked forward to my weekly sessions with Silvia because she was approachable and happy to answer my questions (more than once). With strong backgrounds in accounting, counseling and spirituality- she is the perfect coach if you are ready for this unique journey! I highly recommend her course.
  • Loved everything about the class
  • When you are ready to seek help financially, Silvia is for sure the right woman to email, text or call! In our first session I already know she is an excellent financial advisor because she is using her accounting and counseling background. I learned that many of my emotions are driving forces for my spending or savings. Silvia was very knowledgeable and professional because she informed me on the many skills to address fixing my credit, starting a budget all by visually showing me how and where to start. Silvia is a wealth of information and understood where I was coming from financially. As a single parent, I'm overwhelmed and come from a place of deprivation. I now see how even if I set aside a few dollars for fun, that is okay too! . I am excited to sign up for more classes and have a clearer sense of what I am doing with money and Silvia was the right person for me. She was thorough and realistic . Thank you Silvia!
  • Excellent course!! Thank you. I would take the intermediate class if it came avl. Thank you

  • Very nice Prof. and well educated teacher. I will take him again and highly recommend.
  • Geraldy led a great session. Although I don't have much experience in sales, the information was presented in a clear way without being overwhelming. Geraldy was able to answer a number of questions with great insight as well. Even if you are a total sales novice like myself I recommend you take the workshop because, as Geraldy will teach you, "we are all salesman."
  • Carolyn covered an array of digital marketing strategies and tactics, and used real-world examples to bring the content to life in this interactive class. Her background and knowledge is impressive and I would definitely recommend this class to anyone wanting to get a better understanding of how digital marketing can grow your brand and/or your business.

Business analysis has been around for a while but has only recently been defined as a career path.

Enrolling in this class is a solid step toward becoming a competent Business Analyst for any organization. 

Every one of the five half-day class sessions contains lessons and practice sessions. Most days have several practice sessions, times when together students wrestle with typical and realistic hands-on simulations and activities.
