Q-Skills Reference Quotes

What do our clients think about Q-Skills?
   
 
 
Air Force (Kate Dawson):
"Q-Skills makes an otherwise dry subject interesting and entertaining"
 
  Brooks Automation (Kay Kendall - Vice President of Corporate Quality)

"Whenever a colleague asks me about quality training, I recommend Q-Skills without hesitation. Scheduling classroom training for large groups of employees, particularly when they span geographies and time zones, is often impractical. Computer-based training for self-paced learning can be an attractive option; however, many applications lack sufficient content or aren't user friendly. Q-Skills is very user-friendly and cost-effective. Its team support module facilitates problem solving and process improvement beyond the original training, leading to real-time use of quality tools to address business issues."
Kay Kendall
Vice President of Corporate Quality
Brooks Automation, Inc.

To our friends at MicroMultimedia,

On behalf of all of our team members, may I thank you for the wonderful contribution that you've made to quality training here at Florida Power & Light.

As you know, our Q-Skills software is running, without a glitch, on our corporate intranet. We're receiving very positive feedback on the courseware from both our Information Management and Power Generation units. We're all enjoying the mythical quality of the software content, and the humor that's embedded in the most unexpected places. It's clear that you've put much of yourselves into this software design, giving it much depth and texture.

Yours sincerely, Dr. Jane Mahoney
