User Training Sessions
Instructors, Tips & Techniques Cited as Big Benefit

Since its inception more than 18 months ago, the responses from people participating in the one-day CCC Pathways® Estimating Solution Training remain overwhelmingly positive. Reaching more than 1,400 customers to date, the CCC Regional Account Manager-led sessions are available at the more than 150 CompUSA® training centers throughout the nation.

Jodie Bonner of JM Lexus, in Deerfield Beach, Fla., said that both the session and the instructor provided her with new skills she has since communicated with her co-workers. “I have been writing estimates for a few years now,” said Bonner. “I have never been to a class that had so many interesting and useful hints. Everybody wants to be the best at their job, but we all have to remember to do it correctly.”
