QUESTION…Do you hide under your desk when your boss asks you to do something computer related?  Worse yet, is your career hitting a brick wall because you lack software skills?

Ugh… Not good!!

Truth be told I’ve been there myself (like seriously), that feeling of not having software knowledge…I know what you’re going through.  Frankly, it stinks.  [spacer height=”30px”] There was a point in my life when I knew absolutely nothing (meaning like zero) about computer software. It was so bad it got to the point where I almost lost my job. [spacer height=”30px”] The worst part was the whole learning software thing was so overwhelming I wanted to crawl under a rock.  I couldn’t help but ask — how can something like software be so complicated to learn?  Perhaps you can relate to this feeling? [spacer height=”30px”] Well, here is the good news learning software is not difficult when you learn it the correct way.
Does any of this sound familiar?
  • How often have you been in class and the teacher speaks nothing but complete techno-babble only leaving you more confused after the class ends?
  • Do you think that corporate training classes are way too expensive? Or feel that paying a monthly subscription fee for on demand training eventually adds up over time?
  • You worry that you are so far behind compared to other people’s software skills and are on the verge of giving up. Essentially you feel like it’s a complete lost cause and not even worth it.
  • Frustrated by all the conflicting information out there? You’re sick of wasting your time researching various topics by poking around endlessly online trying to figure out what exactly you should learn only to keep seeing the same outdated, lame advice.

[spacer height=”15px”]

Yeah.  We thought so…

You see the secret to learning software is to break things down into small relatable pieces.  

[spacer height=”20px”]

Because when you relate new topics to something you already know, learning is a breeze.

Who Is?

Hi… in case you are curious (can’t blame you if you aren’t) my name is Dave McCubbin, and am the founder of Skootzi.  After twenty plus years of being a corporate software trainer I decided to break rank to start this site mainly because I grew tired of the hefty fees corporate training companies charge and the thought of paying a monthly subscription really gnaws at my conscious.  Suffice to say this site was created with one primary goal– to make learning software readily affordable to all.  And yes, I know this specific course is free, just note the all the other ones we offer are ridicuously inexpensive.

But one thing I’d like you to know is all our other paid courses contain pretty much the exact same content you would get if you went through a major training provider or similar online learning site, the best part is you won’t have to mortgage your house to gain access.  In case you are wondering how I can make such a claim let’s just say when you know the inner workings of the training industry you can recognize patterns.  These patterns include such things as course content (outlines) and amount of material in contained in each level.  ‘Nuff said on that one.  🙂

Anyhow if you would like to learn popular software at no where near what the big players charge I invite you to check us out. But in the meantime please grab your complimentary course.

Thanks!
Dave
