Reviews

This was a great course that rapidly oriented my team and I onto a new capability that we previously only understood in passing. Leaving this course I'm confident that we can use these skills immediately and have the necessary background to improve further.

I truly appreciate Edgar s tips and the time he spent clarifying my questions on many occasions. Thank you very much!

Instructor Art Chandler was the best instructor I have had in years. He is a real asset to your organization.

Thank you so much ! This was a lot to absorb but you made it enjoyable and not so overwhelming!

Richard Doelker was wonderful. He presented well, clear and provided examples to situations. The course content had a great flow.
