Hi Group,
I would like to add to what Cheryl has said. I took the course in July.
The class clearly made me aware of my strengths and weaknesses.
Unfortunately for me, it revealed more weaknesses than strengths.
I rate Bruce Caslow and this class as the BEST I have ever seen in ten+
years of networking. Bruce answered every question and responded to
every scenario challenge offered.
I haven't taken the lab yet. I am scheduled to go in December.
Again, I highly recommend this very unique class offering.
