  CISSP Training   

I highly recommend TechNow for CISSP based on the following:
1.  Class size.  I have heard horror stories of 30-40 person Boot Camp.  TechNow keeps the class size to less than 15.  There were only 4 students in my group.  This really facilitated a great learning environment.

2. Instructor knowledge.  He was able to field all of our questions and provided outstanding assistance in helping us prepare.  Also, his "style" of instruction won him extra points with me as I'm easily distracted and he was able to help me maintain focus.

3. Quality of study materials.  I cannot over-emphasize this.  The study materials provided were right on the mark in preparing us for the test.  We were given the book over two months prior to the test which allowed ample time to read the material.  The book is then used as a guide/reference during the camp.

4. Structure.  The camp was broken into 2-3 domains a day.  Each domain studied was followed by comprehensive knowledge tests designed to help you weed out your weak areas.  This approach really worked quite well.

5. Pass Rate.  Our instructor has a 95% pass rate among all students tested who attended his camp.
-John Sherwood, CISSP, CCNA, MCSE, Senior IT Security Engineer, IT Security Services, Oracle Corp.

   
I received my CISSP book a month before class, which was great.  I was able to study beforehand and didn't incur added expenses buying the book myself.  TechNow is really providing a great deal for the class.  The instructor made the class fun while drilling home the important points of security.  He made sure we didn't just do book work.  He applied a lot of real world practical knowledge and examples to back up what the books stated.  Without that, understanding the course content would have been very hard.  Knowing that you have top notch instructors on staff along with the deal you provide should make it a no-brainer for professionals who go looking for CISSP Training. 
-Sheldon Cuffie, Abbott Laboratories
   
Our office is responsible for the Certification and Accreditation
of all Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) systems within the Air Force and the Air Intelligence Agency. Therefore, I rely on skilled personnel to teach people within my office on system and network
vulnerabilities.  I can tell you that I was very impressed with TechNow's teaching style and ability to work  technical issues and problems with students in the class. Bottom line is the instructor went the extra mile. Because of this I have sent several people from my office to TechNow for training.  In my personal communications with other agencies (USAFE, DIA, NSA) they also have referenced using TechNow for training and assistance.      
-Paul Woeppel, Air Force - Air Intelligence Agency
   
I truly enjoyed the class.  The instructor's direction, skills and presentation were right on target.  I certainly will recommend others to attend future classes.        
-Willie, Air Force Office of Scientific Research
   
I would highly recommend my instructor to my colleagues.  He was personable, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful.  He was able to provide examples and relate stories to a given topic the helped get the message across. 
-Ed, Morgan Stanley
   
Much thanks to you for putting on the class and effectively getting the information across.  I already miss the camaraderie of the group that attended the class.
-Patrick, Chicago Board of Trade
   
I was very impressed with the material covered and the skill of the instructor.  It was an honor to be in the same room with so many intelligent professionals.  I did pass the certification exam and am very pleased with the thorough understanding I gained about the issues covered in the class.  The whole operation was very well run and it was a tremendous convenience staying at the same hotel as the course was given in.  The thought that your organization put into this training paid off very well for myself and I'm sure everyone else that attended the course.  Thank you very much for a job well done.

 Customized Training

I am a supervisor over Unix and Oracle system administrators at the Defense Information Systems Agency. As a supervisor, I project all the training requirements for my branch. We get our Unix (Sun and HP) and Oracle training from Technow.  We have sent over 40 personnel through a series of Unix, Oracle, and NT/2000 training in the past 2 years. The reviews I received from the personnel who attended these classes had nothing but good comments about the quality of training and the knowledge level the instructor had of the subject matter. I personally have attended 3 Unix classes and feel that the quality of training and instructors were excellent. A great attribute of TechNow is that they can tailor the lesson to the customer's training requirements and will fit the training to meet your mission's needs. We have worked with TechNow for several years and we have always been impressed with how they are willing to work with the customer.  
-Earl Beyer, Defense Information Systems Agency
   
One of the many things that make TechNow a great choice of IT instruction is their ability to provide tailored training, focused on the requirements we face across our theater and allowing us to truly simulate conditions of our large bases as well as our smaller, less-robust, sites. Our experience with classroom instruction from other vendors has typically been "Text Book" instruction where students go through a pre-defined agenda, following checklist instructions they could get from anyone, and being taught across a broad spectrum of technology even if half of it doesn't pertain to the student's (or U.S. military's network) focus. Additionally, TechNow instructors are extremely knowledgeable in all facets of data networks. This enables us to see, learn, and practice across the full scope of the technology in regards to installation, maintenance, and network impact. Lastly, TechNow has proven to be extremely flexible in coordinating training schedules in lieu of operational circumstances. They have permitted us to change training dates with little notice, at no additional cost or contracts to write/coordinate.

Cisco Training 

Outstanding instructor.  Perfectly related level of difficulty to class experience level.  Another great class! 
-Jeremiah Cottle, US Air Force
   
I have taken a total of 12 technical courses . Three were at a different training company and the other 9 were with TechNow - 2 Cisco courses (on routers and switches) and 7 Win2K courses - and I can honestly tell you that TechNow provides, by far, the best technical instruction I have ever received. All of the TechNow instructors I've had are very good. In the two 1-week Cisco courses, we got very in-depth. We learned a lot about networking basics, received a ton of command line experience on both switches and routers, and we tore down and rebuilt our "network" at least 6 times. We did just about everything you can do with the equipment, including setting up VLANs and NATs and troubleshooting problems that the instructor injected into our network. In fact, with virtually no prior experience on Cisco devices, I was able to take the knowledge I gained from the instruction and easily pass the CCNA exam.    
-Craig S. Long, USAFE
   

Hack and Defend Training

Bar none, this has been the best training experience I have had in my 8 years in the industry.  The course content was incredibly informative.  Addressing these security issues leads to an exponential growth in knowledge about technology and computer science.  The instructor was far more knowledgeable that I anticipated, combining real world international experience with a tremendous teaching style and warm personality.  Great class!  
-Martin Bowers, Motorola
   
First off, let me say that everyone that I worked with to schedule the class was very helpful and courteous.  I was very pleased with the Travel and Training package.  This saved me several hours work in scheduling hotels, airline tickets and at least 30 minutes worth of paper work that our college requires.  When I arrived to the class on the first day I was pleasantly greeted and directed to the class and also the refreshments.  The security instructor was very professional and friendly.  He jumped right into the material and I began learning new things immediately. The entire class was very beneficial to me as a LAN administrator.  I feel that I am now better qualified to create security policies and implement these policies to make our LAN quite a bit more safe.  I was very pleased with the class and will recommend your company to other colleagues.
-Glen Johnson, Virginia Highlands CC
   
By far the best security class I have been to.  The hands-on training really clarified stuff that was only taught in theory in other classes (like SANS).  The instructor was extremely knowledgeable.  Great presentation skills.  I will definitely try to take other classes at TechNow. 
-Marshal White, Air Intelligence Agency
   

Perl

I have a graduate degree and have had extensive technical training, so I've had a lot of different classes and instructors.  The Perl instructor is one of the very best I've ever had.  Excellent teaching and presentation skills, a helpful demeanor and a perfect teaching pace.  He made everyone feel good, even if they were struggling.  I can't say enough.  Outstanding!     
-Nicole, SAIC
   
UNIX and Solaris
TechNow has an incredible learning environment, great instructors and customer service with a smile.  The instructor was the best I've seen.  He was comfortable with the material and could answer any question in a way that students could understand.  The course content was well developed and useful.  It's great to walk away with good documentation, books and manuals.  Thanks!
-Mark Smith, Air Intelligence Agency 
   
This is the first class I have taken anywhere, where I was not bored!  Although I had used some of the basics already, the more detailed explanations and labs helped me better understand UNIX.  I've been to other training facilities where the instructor only knew the course material and was not a "real world" user.  The fact that your instructor uses UNIX and is a real power user gives us a better understanding of what it can really do.  Great Job!   
-Sandra, City Public Service
   
Keep doing what you do at TechNow!  The instructor presented a wealth of information at a good pace.  The course content fulfilled everything I needed to understand.  I know I'll be back for more! 
-Leon Mallery, QVC
   
The instructor was enthusiastic and motivated.  He made the process of learning UNIX enjoyable.  Thanks a lot! 
-Eli, Immucor
