  Aug 02 2011 Classroom environment was good. Remote users delayed class due to connection issue. Highly recommend instructor begin 45min earlier than class time to confirm connections. Disappointed by some content being dropped from the training such as workflows, some more advanced out of the box options. Instructor had some real world examples which assisted with learning. Some questions that I felt were important to new CRM users and customizes could have been more patiently addressed. Labs and books were very detailed about the content covered. Need morning snacks. Afternoon snacks should be expanded Lunch was excellent. -Deborah B. Course(s) Taken Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 - Accelerated
