Success Stories
Tim – Designer/Contract Administrator/Estimator, writes the following:
- When looking at the Estimate window you get to see a mini version BoQ & Client Specification at the same time so you can view and analyse the hard copy drawing all at the same time (2 screen monitor set-up & ‘paper’ plans).
- The method of populating the Estimate sheet is relatively simple & logical – If you find something challenging you can easily manipulate the master template by altering line descriptions, UoM, etc. to suit what you want
- I find the program leads you along in a logical sequence so understanding how the program works it is very easy to grasp
- You don’t need advanced technical training to understand and work with the program. However, if you have a basic understanding of EXCEL & have a trained/technical background you will grasp the program even quicker such as following the methods recommended in the Australian Standard of Measurement of Building Works taught at TAFE & University
- Saves multiple hours in time and effort exerted by measuring a number of trades at the same time
- You get your quotes & estimates out very quickly on projects from a simple renovation, cottage, multiple dwellings/units or even a small commercial structure
- Arithmetical errors only occur if the input information has been incorrectly transposed
- As I work in a multi-role position as a Building Designer, Estimator/Scheduler, Contracts Administrator and cross-over to the different role, the boss is happier with increased productivity in these other areas of our business

I have recently finished my Basic Excel, Word and Outlook course with Ivor.
I needed a refresh before entering back into Administration. I learnt so much and I am really looking forward to putting everything into practice.
Ivor’s one-on-one training is amazing. I did my Excel training over 3 days, Word and Outlook over 2 days. I found this to be so much more beneficial than a one day course as I could really soak up all the information I was being taught. Ivor was great and worked at a pace I could really keep up with.
I walked away from my training each day feeling really confident with my newly learnt skills. I applied for a job while I was in training with Ivor and I was able to secure this new role. I am thrilled!!!
I could not recommend Fast Track Computer Solutions enough! I will be back to do my Advanced Excel with him in the coming Months and look at all other courses I have not done with him to keep upskilling.
Thank you so much Ivor for sharing your incredible knowledge.

“I came to Fast Track Computer Solutions to learn how to incorporate Microsoft Project into my day to day work. The one-on-one training was in depth and showed me processes I would not have learnt otherwise. Ivor has extensive knowledge in Microsoft Project as well as other programs, and I look forward to coming back for my next training course”.
Garry Heard – Project and Construction Manager, writes:
I have been depending on planners and schedulers for several years not having a full understanding how the information was fed into Primavera P6.
After doing the course with Fast Track (Ivor), I now have a full understanding of Primavera and are in a position where I can either set up a schedule myself or ask the right questions back to the planner/scheduler.
Primavera P6 has many functions that can assist with preparing and running a project schedule, finding these functions can be difficult, so I would suggest Primavera training is done.
The Primavera P6 training with Fast Track Solutions was well presented in a manner that was easy to follow. Training was done in 3 hour blocks, 1 on 1 training which gave you time to digest the information and review before the next session.

Thank you very much for spending time with me on your Microsoft Word Software course I have recently attended.
I found the pace of delivery perfect and content very interesting and informative. I look forward to my next visit for the Excel course.
The course was broken up into two, two hour sessions and delivered one on one. This made for a very positive experience.
With kind regards.
