"I needed to learn Acrobat Accessibility / Section 508 and training with Greg was a good choice. He was clearly organized and personally addressed the information that was relevant for me. He used my own project files for class examples, which was appreciated. He was flexible and answered all of my questions. He also took time to seek out answers. I would highly recommend taking this class with Greg to anyone who is interested. It was excellent! " - Stephanie G
