Module 8

"John is extremely knowledgeable about ePO. Very good instructor. I got a lot of helpful info from this class. Really glad I came."

Pamela Hogue
Shook, Hardy & Bacon


“Awesome, Awesome, Awesome class. I have such an amazing understanding of the entire product and how it works, compared to just over 2 days ago! Thank You so much!! ”

Derek Rose
Workstation Specialist
Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance Co.


“This course definitely gave me the knowledge and experience to implement the upgrade confidently. I think it's a very excellent course. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone.”

Systems Administrator
Juravinski Cancer Centre


“I can't think of anything that would improve this class. Had a great experience. ”

Jeff Creemer
Clearpointe Technology


“John's background and hands-on experience were a great help to the material and answering questions from a real-world perspective. ”

Brian Laird
Dominion Resources


“I was very surprised by the level of expertise from your instructor John Malczewski. I've been to a lot of in-class training and some web-based training, a lot of which I found to be a waste of time because the instructor just stood in front of the class and read out of a book; I can do that! John had a level of expertise you don't usually receive from a class costing this much. He really knows his subject, both inside and out! I have spent 3 times as much as what this class costs, and received nowhere near the return as I did from John's instruction.”

Donn Austin
Systems Administrator
Evans Hotels


“I wanted to convey my appreciation for John's helpfulness and expertise. His attitude really contrasts with my too-frequent experiences with trainers and support (usually a combination of truculence and incompetence). Please feel free to pass these comments along to anyone that may be interested.”
