Learn Your Way – Even from Under a Palm Tree
Make Software Work for You
Palm Tree Learning helps you and your team get your work done more efficiently by understanding the software tools you have at your hands, and how they can help your requirements. We can provide pre-designed software courses so that you can learn lots about your software, but better still, we can tailor the course for what you need.
Learn your way. Whether in-person or live via Microsoft Teams, you can learn as an individual, or learn as a team. We can customize it to work for you. Learn through a classic intensive half or full day, or learn over a block of short weekly sessions that allow you to apply what you are learning gradually and ask questions along the way.
Our Courses in a Nutshell

Dynamic Presentations in the Virtual Space, Grab their attention and Keep it! – If you need to present, train, coach or just do meetings in the virtual space – with Microsoft Teams – it’s just different than being face-to-face in the same room.

Choose to do the whole course, or buy some of the individual lessons.

About Us
Rhonda Garvin established Palm Tree Learning in 1998. The vision was always to help people learn software tools from wherever they are.. even from under a Palm Tree.
Initial software tools that Rhonda taught on-line were focused around IBM Lotus Notes and Domino technical courses. And then there were many years of on-site and classroom teaching, consulting, developing, administration. Fast forward to 2023. Palm Tree Learning is relaunched to focus on helping teams to work together.
