What People Are Saying About CAMP...
Scott Collins, Collins Concrete
CAMP is really reasonably priced. It’s cheaper than an hourly rate.
From an end user position, I’ve done the “I don’t have time”, I’ve done that. I’ve done every excuse you can possibly imagine. This is the first time I’ve run through training in a sequential way.
The classes cover A LOT of things that take you into a different mindset of how to look at QuickBooks. Those already are a ton of savings. I’ve made lots of notes from these classes. Some of this is stuff I’ve already known, but I see it now in a different way. It’s like reading a book a second time, you see something stand out when you read it again.
CAMP eliminates a lot of wasted time. It makes it so that when Diane talks to you, you’re able to save yourself time because…
1. You understand the terms that she’s introducing to you.
2. You start to understand your real need. What would normally take you hours, you can now narrow it down and say I already understand that part, now I need help with this.
Carol Kolona, Soar Accounting
I have found CAMP to be useful and beneficial and as time progresses and skills improved, the dependency of CAMP has become less required.
Keep up the excellent work.

More Comments About CAMP Training...
I wasn’t sure online training would work for my learning style. I am a visual as well as hands-on learner. The written word is not always clear without application. After watching the first video, Diane’s style of teaching relieved my concerns. She is a very talented teacher.
Speaking for someone in my circumstance (who needed a refresher in Quickbooks and general accounting but specifically in Construction Accounting), this product is well worth your time and the price!
With cleaner books and reports we are able to get the appropriate CPA documents necessary for a larger dollar license and for financing to build spec homes.
Janice Collins, Orion Service Group
When I have a specific question where I ask myself, how do I do this? I can go into CAMP and I can look through all the videos or search and find what I need. For example, if I needed something specific to Estimates, I can find the class and watch that one. So it's been great when you have a very specific question, which is really, really key.
Jacqueline Leighton, Classic Colonial Homes
I've never done job costing and I'm still learning how to use those features. Watching the videos that Diane has made and then being able to ask questions to her is very valuable. The amount of videos/topics to choose from is fantastic.
Patricia Fontaine, Classic Colonial Homes
The videos are great; the handouts are good. Thanks for being a positive force for good!
