Ho seguito il corso con l'obbiettivo di ampliare le mie conoscenze in questo campo. Il corso ha trattato principalmente Word ed Excel. Ho apprezzato particolarmente la chiarezza con cui sono stati presentati gli argomenti, e la pazienza e la disponibilità di Giovanni. Grazie a questo corso, ho acquisito una maggiore confidenza nell'uso di questi due programmi, e ho notato un significativo miglioramento nelle mie capacità di utilizzo. Consiglio vivamente questo corso a chiunque desideri migliorare le proprie conoscenze informatiche, indipendentemente dal livello di partenza. Ah, non dimentichiamoci della simpatica ''mascotte'' di NavigaCom: il dolcissimo cane ''Met'', che vi accoglierà con grande entusiasmo! Stefania
