Unleashing Potential, One Success Story at a Time
“We use Teams pretty well because of your training!”
I’m here to say thank you, Luis, for everything over the past years. We use Teams pretty well because of your training! You also patiently and possibly even bravely explained SharePoint to us! Your thoughtful, before-you-ask approach was so helpful—you definitely went above and beyond in anticipating where we were falling short and ensuring that we understood that our basic IT skills needed to be looked after. We wouldn’t have been able to do this ourselves.
“Thoughtful and fun approach.”
Luis, it has been a joy to work with you over the last few years! I have learned so much through the thoughtful and fun approach you take to training and problem-solving—making it fit for organizations as small as our team of three back when we started with you.
“We would be very happy to ask Luis for his services again.”
Luis provided in-person, on-site Intermediate Excel Training to a group of our staff members over a 20-session span. We had a variety of knowledge bases going into these sessions, and Luis was courteous and respectful to each individual request, helping to answer any general or specific questions that came up. The feedback from staff members was that he was clear, patient, and understanding. We have a variety of roles that require different levels of Excel, and this course covered everything from the very basics to pivot tables and charts. The training accommodated our needs perfectly. Any further computer training our company may invest in, we would be very happy to ask Luis for his services again.
“Developed several spreadsheets that have earned our company hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
I contacted Luis at Crystal Clear Training because I was working on a spreadsheet for my company, and I had reached the limits of my Excel knowledge. He not only helped with the overall design and function but helped to teach me so that I could build better spreadsheets moving forward. In the end, we have developed several spreadsheets that have helped our company earn thousands of dollars. I continue to work with Luis and highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve at Excel.
“Delivered over 40 modules of Microsoft Suite training.”
We have had Luis deliver over 40 modules of Microsoft Suite training sessions for our ACCELERATE Program for Youth with fantastic results! As a facilitator, Luis is calm, patient, and very engaging—we keep coming back to him again and again! Luis has demonstrated flexibility to match our training needs and communicates flawlessly with our participants and administrators alike. He is able to meet participants where they are at, regardless of their skill level. We are very satisfied with his training style, and he is our go-to training consultant. Thank you, Luis! We look forward to our continued partnership.
“Will be happy to have Luis as our instructor for more courses to come!”
I really enjoy Luis’s training. We had quite a number of sessions at our Association, and all of them were consistently engaging, well-structured, and of great practical use. I personally find the Excel course of high importance: I was able to expand my knowledge of Excel immensely—and learned plenty of new methods and techniques of data analysis, particularly in the part of pivot tables. I use this instrument in my work, and Luis’s instructions enriched my knowledge and analytical toolbox significantly. On a personal note, I really appreciate Luis’s teaching style and ability to quickly accommodate the learners’ needs in a very efficient and meaningful way. Will be happy to have Luis as our instructor for more courses to come! Great job, thanks!!
“We are extremely satisfied with his training style and level of customer service.”
Our sales department has had the pleasure of taking part in Luis’ training sessions on three occasions so far. Our initial in-person training session was extremely valuable for our employees, many of whom particularly liked being able to follow along on their own computers. We subsequently booked two 3-part virtual lessons while our team is working remotely. Luis was clear, calm, and easy to follow during our virtual sessions; several employees have asked for further training in both Word and Excel since taking Luis’ beginner courses. We are extremely satisfied with his training style and level of customer service and would highly recommend him to other companies looking to improve their employees’ knowledge using these programs!
“I am very pleased with the online Excel training courses that you offered.”
It is not easy to present the course to different skill levels of audiences, but you had done it without making us feel overwhelmed nor bored. I like that you were able to customize the course material to meet our needs and enhanced it further with other features that are useful to know. It is a very reasonable price to pay for the service you provided, and we appreciate the flexibility on the schedule. I will certainly recommend your service to anyone and will come back for more training in different areas when needed.
“An amazing trainer/teacher.”
Just wanted to send this message to thank you so very much for the recent training sessions. You are an amazing trainer/teacher, very patient, kind, and of course, know your stuff. I will recommend your training sessions to others who may need that guidance.
“Organized and communicates well.”
I highly recommend Luis as a computer course instructor. He is very patient, adaptable, and moves with you at your own pace, often stopping to see if you need clarification before progressing further. He is very organized and communicates well as he instructs. It was my pleasure working with him, and I thank him for sharing his knowledge with me.
“One of Luis’ great skills is tailoring training to fit the needs of your organization.”
Luis has taken the complexity of Microsoft Teams and made it usable for us. We’re a small, remotely-connected team, working in a pressured and dynamic non-profit environment. These applications within the Office 365 platform designed for corporations must also work for us, and Luis, with his wealth of experience in both using and teaching Microsoft Office, has tamed this many-headed dragon for us. Being able to use Office 365 Teams and SharePoint enables our team to communicate, collaborate on documents, manage tasks and workflows at a scale that works for us. Luis also sourced, became familiar with, and then taught “GANTT,” an open-source project management application, again to the scale needed for the kinds of projects we typically run. All while maintaining a sense of humor. One of Luis’ great skills is in tailoring MS to fit the needs of your organization. Highly recommend!
“The training met and exceeded our expectations…….adapted the material to our needs.”
We used Luis for the last Excel training we had. The training met and exceeded our expectations. Luis went above and beyond before our training day to ensure everything would go smoothly on the day of the training. He came prepared with training materials for all levels of experience and adapted the material to our needs as the training went on. We will be using Luis for future training.
“He is our ‘go-to’ trainer!”
We have been using Luis’s training company, Crystal Clear Computer Training, since 2018. He is our “go-to” trainer for all our on-site employee Microsoft Office skills training programs. Employees were immediately able to make use of their new skills in the workplace, clearly demonstrating how well Luis explains things in a way that non-experts can easily understand. Without reservation, I positively recommend Luis Ribeiro for your organization’s MS Office training. I am confident that he will exceed your expectations as well.
“Never a dull moment.”
Thank you, Luis, for coming to our facilities to instruct the courses held on March 13 and 14, 2014, for Microsoft Word 2010 and Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro. We were very impressed by how well this course was organized and delivered flawlessly. You truly did an excellent job teaching these courses. As an instructor, you were able to tailor the course instantaneously to our needs while being able to steer the course in the right direction when needed. You promoted a very open environment for questions and answers while staying focused on the topic at hand. You managed the time and pace of these courses very well, so there was never a dull moment.
“Learned practical tips & tricks for everyday use that is relevant to our daily needs.”
The course was great! Luis is a very professional and knowledgeable instructor. He’s able to tailor the course at an instant to our needs. Very interactive and to the point. We didn’t waste time going through manuals but rather learned practical tips & tricks for everyday use that are relevant to our daily needs. I was very impressed!
“We attribute our training sessions’ success to our partnership with you in customizing the content and your excellent teaching skills.”
Participants in the training stated they were extremely satisfied with the sessions, and many reported learning 5–10 new skills in each session! You made yourself available to answer questions and made changes to the content while we prepared for the process. Furthermore, you provided valuable suggestions for how to best meet the needs of over 70 individuals at various skill levels! We attribute our training sessions’ success to our partnership with you in customizing the content and your excellent teaching skills.
“Played a key role in every aspect of the training.”
From April to November of 2013, the British Columbia Securities Commission migrated to Windows 7 and Office 2010. Luis Ribeiro, project lead trainer, played a key role in every aspect of the training program. From administrative staff to executives, he designed our training schedule, appraised employee skills assessments, and was instrumental in developing custom workshop outlines.
“Training consultant of choice.”
Luis has provided Microsoft Project training services to Omicron over the past couple of years. Luis delivered effective and comprehensive training on MS Project at the beginner and advanced levels, kept attendees engaged with relevant and customized lesson plans, and examples that cater to our business. Luis has consistently been requested as our training consultant of choice by audience members. He is a pleasure to work with.
“Ability to transfer his substantial knowledge and skills related to the Microsoft software.”
I would like to commend Luis Ribeiro for his work as an instructor for end-user training on the Microsoft Windows/Office and IBM Lotus implementation project for uniPHARM Wholesale Drugs Ltd. in Richmond, BC, Canada. Luis conducted training and provided one-on-one assistance at uniPHARM from June 28 through August 17, 2012, in addition to preparation and follow-up services for this training project. The remarkable characteristics that Luis brought to uniPHARM included his ability to quickly learn and convey knowledge on the IBM Lotus software as well as transfer his substantial knowledge and skills related to the Microsoft software being implemented at our Richmond location. uniPHARM attendees at Luis' training sessions commented on how well he knew the subject matter while working with everyone in a friendly, outgoing manner.
