I've been working with New Horizons Atlanta, Allison Cartwright as Senior Account Executive, for almost 5 years through my company and have an excellent relationship with them. We have adopted New Horizons as our premier choice for Corporate Education and Technical Certifications. I highly recommend New Horizons Computer Learning Center and my staff of 75 nationwide technicians and engineers have all gained 3+ technical industry-standard certifications each within a 3 year period.
I would rate them a 10 if the scale went that high! Allison has been amazing, working with myself and my employees during and after the enrollment process, which has greatly improved customer relations and easy changes if something comes up. Thank you very much New Horizons and Allison for ensuring our Corporate Education is taken care of.

I have been taking online classes from New Horizons. The teachers are wonderful, if a student is struggling they stop and help them catch up. I have learned so much which helps with my job. I have signed up for several more classes and can't wait to take them. I would refer New Horizons to anyone who is looking to learn better computer skills. It's a great place to learn not only do they have online classes but they also have classrooms.

We contacted New Horizons when an employee of mine who had attended an academic excel class and was not very impressed she referred Mona Cross as an instructor. The process went seamless, meeting with Allison Cartwright to figure out how we wanted to organize the classes and the content we wanted presented. Mona was a great instructor and we received a lot of positive feedback from our staff. Thank you New Horizons! We will asking New Horizons to come back soon! Jeanne Hudson, CKS Packaging

I took the Beginner Excel class for my job. It was way less stressful than I had anticipated. Very educational and useful to what I need it for. The instructor was very down to earth and was easy to follow. Will definitely be using NH for future classes.

I recently attended an online course through New Horizons on VMWare. It was an excellent class, the instructor Jay Burkey was great! The materials were organized and presented very well. The lab environment was excellent also, it was really great to work with the actual software creating, cloning, and v-motioning virtual machines. Overall a five out of five! Cant wait for my follow up class in June!

Working with Allison at New Horizons has been an absolute pleasure! She facilitated us through the entire sign up process for our company coupon pool as well as helped with course registrations. It was easy to sign up and easy to follow along with the instructors that led the classes. We first sought out New Horizons Computer Learning Center for Excel training and found they had much more to offer from the entire suite of Microsoft programs as well as leadership and human resources classes! The classes can be taken online or in person, whichever fit our employees learning styles better. I would highly recommend New Horizons to others

I took their Captivate 2017 course. My instructor Ryan was fantastic. Great teacher. Very knowledgeable and patient with new users. Literally nothing was a dumb question. I could not have done my job as well without this training and they did a great job. Cons - There were a few technical issues during the training. People getting kicked out of the session or given inaccurate login information. These were minor mishaps that were resolved in a manner of minutes or seconds. Overall - great program!

I went to New Horizons to earn my Microsoft Office Specialist certification. The courses were well taught, the instructors were well informed, the office staff was pleasant and courteous and my account manager was responsive. It was an excellent experience. Needless to say, I passed all of my exams on the first try and I'm now a Microsoft Office Specialist!

New Horizons of Atlanta is a GREAT place to learn new computer skills or to build on your existing skills. The instructors are a wealth of knowledge. If you are looking to update your Microsoft Office skills or if your looking to get certified in Microsoft Office, I highly recommend New Horizons of Atlanta! They have a nice office located by Perimeter Mall which includes several classrooms and a testing center.
The instructors, account managers and staff are awesome and always so helpful. Give New Horizons a call to see how they can assist your computer learning needs. Ask for Jennifer, she will definitely take care of you!

"I am an employee at ServiceMaster Corporate in their TruGreen Division; I assume you know that we have been going through some challenging times, since the company has sold. New Horizons has been a tremendous help assisting our department to achieve our training goals. I look forward to working with you in the coming year in all of our training endeavors. Personally I have found that the level of professionalism exceeds even that of the Help Desk Institute.
I thought I would write this letter before year end processes begin, and I don't have a chance. Let me also add that Bobbye is a wonderful instructor. I model myself after her. She is great with people. And a delight I might add. In this industry, we never get enough thanks, so I thought I would write a few words of gratitude, to let you know we appreciate your wonderful employees at New Horizons!"
