I have been in a self-teaching mode for a long time. Mostly, I’ve been looking for free training here and there, and once I paid a tutor for a specific project. When the opportunity to earn a certificate was presented, I was determined to attend. After seeing that this was available online, it was a win-win situation that I could not pass up.

Personally, I went from feeling like a fish out of water to having a belief that my future work would be much improved. This course has given me the creative juices that I did not feel that I had. I understand triggers and variables much better than previously. It has boosted my confidence in my current role.

I would definitely recommend this course to others who are seeking to use Articulate Storyline —whether they are a novice or a long-time user of the software. There are skills taught in this course that could change the way courses are created. I wish I had taken this course a few years ago.

I started while serving in the United States Army as an instructor for new recruits coming into the communications programs. After leaving the military, I went to a local program for learning computer skills. After working in various departments in my current organization, I landed in a role where I facilitated MS Office training. The rest is history.

I can’t think of anything unusual or unique. As a kid, I worked in fast food establishments. After I graduated from high school, I went to Job Corps and earned a certificate in residential wiring, then I was awarded a two-year scholarship. After 18 months in college, I decided to go into the Army, and the rest was history that landed me where I am today.
