Then put that knowledge to use immediately and eliminate or reduce errors and fines.

Even though I had already been using NOVA for several months, I took the class to see if I was using it to its full potential. I ended up learning a lot that will be really useful to my job function! I’ve taken several 8th & Walton classes and all of them have been money well spent.
