Everything that’s supposed to be discussed, friendly people (PCCI instructor, staff, and classmates) and of course, very reasonable seminar rate.— Tere De Guzman (Ad and Promo Specialist, San Miguel Corporation)
Simple but very thorough with regard to the content and presentation.— Anthony Lozada (Bert Lozada Swim School)

Very helpful to a newbie like me. Thank you very much. I enjoyed the course.— Gina Alday
PCCI’s OS X Fundamentals training accelerated my learning curve. I don't feel like a newbie anymore. I had my two daughters (ages 10 and 11) with me in the same class and they appreciated the new learnings they got. Thanks to Dominique James for recommending the class and to Mark Miranda for teaching it well - even with young kids in the class. — Lino Nabong
I discovered a lot about what the Mac can do, because the instructor showed things step-by-step. The instructor was also very accommodating to questions, no matter how “stupid” the questions sounded.— Dail Deri, professional photographer
