Background

Chris became interested in training in 1997 when the company he was working for as an Accounting Manager closed. Prior to this position, he had worked for two fortune 100 companies - Georgia-Pacific and IBM - and hoped to leverage this business experience along with his accounting degree, to become a corporate IT trainer.

His Microsoft Office Specialist certifications, combined with real-world business experience, give Menard an advantage over other trainers.

"Microsoft Office Specialist" certification is our assurance that an instructor is prepared to teach us what we need to know," says Sherra Knowles, community educator at Henry Medical Center, who hired Menard to train 250 employees.

"Everyone loved the training Chris provided because he customized lessons to help us find more efficient ways to complete the real tasks we handle everyday in the healthcare field."
