Can you help with their questions?

I need to identify a way of assessing ICT skills. Does anybody
know of any packages in the marketplace for assessing and/or
training Microsoft skills? I'd be grateful for advice.

My company provides finance solutions to clients using complex
accounting software, I have to train the sales team to be
proficient in these systems. Every session I run is very flat as
I struggle to maintain enthusiasm in the subject matter - any
ideas?
