Not to belabor the obvious, but if IE (if both Brian's taught
simultaneously) had a class consisting of only two people, wouldn't that be
one-on-one training? Or if I had a class of one person, that would be as
well...
While it may sound nice, the question is whether or not it's a consistent
scalable (marketable) approach. IMHO, it's not, it's simply a benefit
achieved due to the small class size.
Granted, an instructor could just as easily ignore any students and not give
attentions like that, but that wouldn't be nice. :)
Not to take anything away from how valuable your experience was to you, but
you keep pointing it out where it's beginning to sound like a marketing
approach. If it is, that's certainly your perogative, but others were
pointing out that their experiences weren't the same, there's no need to
reiterate yours.

Thanks for stepping forward and sharing your views Tony,I completely agree
with you,as far as I know JP got training 4 YEARS ago,and maybe now their
approach and way of teaching has changed,there are also some students who
took training from them and step forward to give reviews and also students
who were not satisfied,maybe their approach is different now,well JP can u
tell me why you said that their training is not one-on-one,well in my case
as i said before there were two students(one security guy and was me) and I
got training exclusively from Bahram whole week,isnt this known as
one-on-one? or I dont know what is one-on-one [IMAGE],hehe
