Chris~
Let me qualify by saying that I am new to this, so don't take what I tell you to be 'laid in stone'. Overall, I liked the site. The layout seems well-navigable, and the content seems to match that of the indexed selection. It seems to have all of the basic elements needed for a well-informed decision process.

Remember that the rules here state that the website should be the subject of the submission...

(1) On long pages of text, I would place a map to the portions of the page, and a reciprocating map to the top. This is a personal thing with me. I'm not one for scrolling down a half k of text and having to scroll my way back.

(2) Be consistent in the layout. Some of the pages had representative images on them, and some did not. Also, some pages were completely done in CAPS, which, from my understanding equates to shouting at people - not very good etiquette.

(3) I had to read alot of the site content to get to the gist of what the company offers. I know that this is tough (I'm having the same problem at the moment with one of my companies), but it is very important that you say what you are as soon as possible.

Overall, I would rate this site very well.

Hi Gymsmoke,

I appriciate your review and i completely agree that the long pages need on page links to the top of the page. Also though i was interested in what you had to say about there been too much information without pushing through the produts/special offers. If you could answer me some quick questions on your initial thoughts id be very thankful.

Is the site not obviously one promoting it and secritarial training? - How can i improve on that?

With my small knowladge of SEO and on page optimization i struggled to get loads of keywords stuffed on a page without making the user over confused with marketing junk. How do you think i can keep the keyword density while not confusing the user?

Any comments welcome
