Look who Else is Using LeapFox

The thing I liked about my Excel class at LeapFox is the instructor took took the time to answer all my questions. I use Excel on a daily basis and have been able to save about 15 minutes a day on Excel tasks. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend LeapFox to anyone looking for great training.
