    What Attendees Have Said About Synercon Training Courses

    I received excellent information and clarification on the need for and the approach that can be taken to develop and implement an effective file plan and thesaurus.

    I enjoyed the willingness to explore issues from the floor and the numerous practical examples cited in the discussion.

    Good relaxed discussion style. More knowledge sharing than lecture. Lots of interaction. Best form of learning. 10/10. Excellent!!
