What Our Students Are Saying

Bacardi Jacksonville Supply Chain Excel Training

From November 2023 to January 2024, Mr. Mike Goodman trained a total of 34 Bacardi employees in the Excel Intermediate and Advanced sessions. The feedback received was very positive. Some of the students shared their experience internally and more people want to get the training. We have two specific cases where the training was key on the improvement of our data management and presentation.

We have two employees who collect production downtime data. These date gets presented and analyzed. Action items gets developed and implemented to improve Bottling efficiencies. After the training, the templates utilized by these employees to present the data were more organized and easier to follow. This resulted in detailed action plans resulting in increased efficiencies.
An employee from our Logistics department was struggling on producing a spreadsheet to present data to his Peers and Superiors. During the Advanced Excel Training session, as the trainer was explaining how to create reports and forms, he pulled the spreadsheet he had, and he edited it as the trainer was explaining the steps. He was very satisfied with the template he created during the training.

  • Applying What I Learned

    I sure am using what I learned during the class! I was able to recreate an essential report that was damaged through time and improper use recently, and our entire team is better for it. I credit the training I had at Star V Learning Centers for helping me see what I couldn’t before. Now, I’m regularly using this report, my boss is happy, and the rest of my team is better equipped to help our clients understand what we do. It’s been a win-win-win-WIN for everyone.

  • Job Search Help

    My time at Star V Learning Centers was an unforgettable experience that I'll be recounting to others for many years to come. The knowledge I gained did not just relate to IT but also to building myself as a job candidate and using LinkedIn as a tool for my success. The instructors and staff were always available to discuss anything I needed to perform and succeed not only in my CompTIA exams but in anything related to my future in the IT industry. The environment they created for learning made it easy to absorb and understand the information presented and I would recommend Star V Learning Centers to anyone trying to jumpstart a career in IT.

  • Amazing Experience

    My experience at Star V Learning Centers was nothing less than an amazing experience! The staff from the time I was greeted at the door were so welcoming and supported my growth in I.T knowledge anyway they could. The knowledge that is available through just the experience alone among the staff was worth attending the programs. Their Career Services and Placement Manager was able to assist me in landing a job the day before my last day in the program! 10 out of 10 highly recommend for building a solid foundation in the tech field.

Staff is Awesome and Supportive

From the beginning everyone was extremely kind, supportive and professional. I first met with Justin who laid out everything and really worked with both me and my command to make a schedule that would work for me. He would answer every question and if he didn’t know he would go above and beyond to find the answer for you. You can tell he really enjoys his job and helping others. My first week of class was a little rough, coming from the navy I was used to early mornings and leaving for the day around 5. Adjusting my family to the night class schedule was just not possible for me. Again I asked my professor and Justin what I could do and without hesitation they put me on the day classes and I immediately felt more comfortable. I do want to say my first professor Mark is exceptional and he was at no fault, it was my personal life to blame. Once on the day track I met another fantastic teacher, Darlene. I related to her a lot more because she was also navy and she took the time out of her day to make us kahoots, answer every question we had with a strong command on any subject we covered and pushed us to go above and beyond. She made sure we had all the resources necessary, even helping us look for jobs at times. She truly is an amazing person and if I could recommend someone to request to tutor you it would be her. Even though it was her first class at the school, she had students from other classes sitting in and learning from her. Thanks to her I got my A+ and Sec+ and was close to CYSA+ and Cloud+. I remember for some reason I would always take my tests on Fridays and she would stay there and review with me until I went in to take the exam. I truly think when I graduated she did everything possible to make sure I was prepared to enter the civilian sector and I will forever be grateful to her. The support staff is also awesome. I had the pleasure of working with Sam and Marcy and they are amazing! Sam put up with my many retakes and scheduling multiple tests (most the time it was my fault because I gave her the wrong email), and she did it with a smile on her face. Sam was kind, hard working and an encouraging person who I wish nothing but the best for. Marci on the other hand has more patience in one finger than I do in my whole body. The amount of resumes and cover letters she deals with is astonishing. What’s even more remarkable is that it’s first time quality work that will make your resume tailored to whatever job you apply for and it will stand out without a doubt. Her vocabulary and break down of corporate language is second to none and me and my classmates really appreciate her because she was the one that made the resume i used to get a job. All in all, I start my new position at Kirkland Air Force Base in Albuquerque for Inalab Computer Consulting Inc. very soon and I have Justin, Mark, Sam, Marci and Darlene to thank because with out them or Star V I wouldn’t have the tools, experience or knowledge I have now. Thank you.

  • Starting at the Beginning

    When getting out of the military I knew I had no IT knowledge or experience at all. All I knew was that IT was a very fast-growing career and that is what I wanted to pursue. I learned about Star-V (formerly New Horizons) through my old co-workers who had completed the program during their skillbridge and were able to land an IT job. I decided to give them a call and they were able to get me in for a tour of their facility and give me a brief about the program the same day that I called. I decided that this is what I wanted to do. The 3-month course was very challenging, but the instructors are there to help after class or before class and they give you all the resources necessary to succeed and get certified. Marcela tailored my resume where I had no technical background to something that highlighted everything technical related that could help me land a role. After she tailored my resume, I applied to many roles, and I was finally able to land my 1St ever technical job. Almost a year later I am still working on getting additional certifications at the Star-V testing center.

Every session was truly engaging, and I appreciated each opportunity to learn and grow.

    Thank You For Your
    Guidance

    I must express my sincere gratitude to the Star V faculty for their invaluable guidance. Your advice on tailoring cover letters and navigating LinkedIn was instrumental in securing this role during my graduation week. Additionally, Mrs. Hudson’s insights as a developer helped shape my career aspirations and boosted my confidence. I hope to pursue certifications in Networking, Cybersecurity Analyst, and Cloud.

  • Premium Customer Service

    Working with the Star V staff was also definitely the highlight of my experience! They set the standard for what it means to have premium customer service. There wasn't a single time that I felt lost or out of place.

    Whether it was on the career prep side of things, or it was on the learning and studying side of things, the staff was always there for me making sure that I got the very best experience possible.
