Terry’s class training on NOVA was very thorough and easy to follow. I really appreciated his attention to detail. We were able to ask variable questions and get good feedback.

- Ivy - 8/17/21 Direct Import Fulfillment Manager

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.
