TESTIMONIALS

The Skills 180 training program is easy to use and very informative. The training uses a mix of text, audio and graphical media which makes the lessons easy to follow and allows you to learn at your own pace. Because the content is online, I was able to access it from any computer with an internet connection. This meant I could start and stop whenever I had time. I enjoyed this program and would definitely recommend it to others. It is a great way to learn.Joseph Bauer, CNC Programmer, PCX Aerosystems
