The office said it might be the language barrier that's why I got failing grade because I was too slow. But my teacher said, I might just need practice because Office 2007 is different from what I've leaned. (1997,2003) But in my opinion, I tried to understand well the question before I put my answer, and I'm always lost in finding all the function tabs that I need to click. It takes ages for me to locate the exact location of the functions. It's hard because it's fastract and teacher will not teach you the whole functions. So I study hard the CD about ECDL.

I enrolled my Dreamweaver in a private Training school in Edinburgh. It is great because we have 3 teachers in the room and you can ask everything you want to know if you are stuck!. It's far but there's bus and train so go for it!

I applied as volunteer 6 weeks ago. They will provide and pay my caregiving course. It is interesting because they need to check my background. I got my ENHANCED Disclosure certificate yesterday and thanks God! I have no record in Pinas. It took 6 weeks before I got my certificate and next week, I may start my course.

I am determined to learn I have my Dreamweaver 8 in my laptop but I don't know how to use it. That's why I enrolled.



It's really hard but it is my dream to learn more about webpage design.
Photo was taken my friend in Edinburgh central. We had nice time together.
HI Penny with regards the running out of time, it can happen to us all sometimes but worth investigating if you can have a little extra time? Some exams allow those with dyslexia or reading difficulties to have some extra time. Worth investigating you never know.

Dreamweaver 8 a great application and plenty of info on line from users of all levels and many like to make websites (as you would expect )

Always worth having a google around years ago many companies and colleges course work appeared on google but most have wised up to that


Do you have office 2007 at home, does your courses qualify you to get a student version which is far cheaper? You can of course download a free trial
many people keep a spare pc or HD which they keep flattening so can load on the trial versions microsoft provide for there training at home

Dont forget to use the help on office 2007 and online microsoft web help they spend millions making sure people understand how to use as best they can. As do many other sites, google or bing really is your best friend/s

simply type guide to office 2007 in to your search engine have a mug of your favourite drink and start reading and watching.

Thats how most people in offices have to learn and loads of material out there

Good luck with the Caregiving course
