We have assisted a wide range of organizations of all sizes, from startups and small businesses to enormous organizations employing tens of thousands of people.

How is this Google Workspace training better than other options out there?

This question should rather be, “How isn’t it better?”.

It is cheaper (completely free) and often more effective than hiring someone to help.
It is easier to follow and understand than Google’s Help Center, YouTube videos, or any other resource you can find.
It is easier, faster, and usually more effective than contacting Google Workspace support or any live person. You don’t need to wait in a queue, talk or chat with anyone, wait for them to reply, or deal with someone inexperienced.
On the other hand, we are there for you at any time, and it only takes seconds to find what you need and get things done.
