“Train the planet”
LearnKey is helping people to succeed all over the world!
In fact just today, as I was working on this post and preparing it to be published, I received this email from one of our clients. It fits perfectly with the promotional video I was uploading to our blog (see below) and expresses exactly what I was trying to convey, only this is from an actual student- probably in training as I type this.
Here’s what this person had to say:
Dear LearnKey,
I am really enjoying the LearnKey/ExamForce OnlineExpert on Microsoft Office 2007 program. It is awesome! What is really great is that I can do it from home. I don’t have to get dressed up, comb my hair, drive someplace and wait on an instructor (who is probably old, boring, with a long beard and bad breath!). All I have to do is walk into the next room and turn on my computer. How easy is that!?! I can learn in my pajamas, with my slippers on or however I want to be dressed…

Personalizing Internet Explorer 8: Your Home Page
Once you have installed Windows 7, chances are you’re now looking at your shiny new desktop wondering “now what?” If you’re like me you may just continue staring at your background, but chances are you’re going to follow up that question by opening up some web pages instead.
Today’s clip features tips on how to customize your experience with Internet Explorer 8, the default web browser that comes with Windows 7.
Stay tuned for another video clip tomorrow!
“Only in New York!”
He’s a baker, she’s a software trainer and techno geek!- truly this can only happen in New York.
This week LearnKey is welcoming into our studio, Mandi Bergenfeld, a software trainer and computer instructor from New York who owns her own training company, Twin Computer Training. Her husband, on the other hand, is a baker and owns his own Bagel shop, Goldberg’s Famous Bagels– Great Food, Great Friends, The Perfect Cup of Coffee!
Mandi, is our newest expert and author of the Word 2010 video series. We are so excited to have Mandi working with us to create this course. With her 20+ years experience in the IT training industry I’m certain that she will put a course together that is both engaging and full of the newest tips and tricks.
My only concern now is, will she bring us some of her husband’s delicious Goldberg’s Famous Bagels? I’m hungry!

Upgrading to Windows 7
Depending on your hardware and your current edition of Windows Vista, you can use the Upgrade option during Windows 7 installation to upgrade from Windows Vista to a corresponding or higher edition of Windows 7.
Upgrading is the most convenient way to get Windows 7 on your computer, because it keeps your files, settings, and programs from Windows Vista in place.
Watch the clip for more details or visit this page on Microsoft’s Windows website.
