It (BTT1OI) helped so much with future courses. Being able to already know how to use the software definitely puts you a step ahead of the class.

It definitely helped me (BTT1OI) in all of my courses. While some of my classmates struggle to complete something for our class, I find it easy to get started.

I definitely suggest taking it (BTT1OI). It helped me so much in my other courses, especially in Science (doing presentations) and Math.

This course (BTT1OI) helped me in a co-op placement nearly 3 years later. You really use it in the workplace for jobs you don’t expect to need to. It was honestly such a great help and without it, I would have been lost.

I've been using things I've learned in business for my Science and Geography Presentations to make them more interesting and appealing.

Grade 9 First Semester 2019Within my business class, we learned many great skills including writing business letters. I used my knowledge from class to write applications and important letters. I also used the PowerPoint tips we learned to make interesting and professional presentations. Business is a course I definitely recommend!

Grade 9 First Semester 2019Microsoft is the basis for everything and is an essential program to teach high school students, especially excel in depth. There are a lot of jobs that require you to be decent at excel. Excel is not a program you can just open excel and use it, you need some basic understanding of how to use the program.
