“We enjoyed having Gary as our instructor and appreciated his many years of knowledge concerning A+. With the short time he was with us for the class, he offered to stay after class to help us with any area that we felt may be difficult or was a concern. We thoroughly appreciated all he did to prepare us for the A+ exam and hope to have him as an instructor in future IT classes.”

“I have worked towards preparing for the PMP exam over the last few months using a variety of study courses and materials. One thing I learned from the Force 7 PMP Prep Course is that I was not ready for the test. After attending the prep course I have developed a more focused and structured training plan that will allow me to pass the PMP exam. It was an incredibly useful way for me to spend my time and I would recommend it to anyone who is working towards earning their PMP certification.”

“I used Force7 for 40 Security+ courses. The members that attended had only positive words about the instructors. I enjoyed the flexibility that Force7 had with our scheduling times. Force7 had no issues with traveling to our location to teach the class. This allowed our technician a much better venue to attend the course. It was an overall great experience.”

– Christian Reyes, IT Manager SEPT 2016

“We have used Force7 for a number of different classes and we currently have a 97% pass rate consisting of 80 different students. I would recommend Force7 to any other organization looking for training. They are a group of professionals that take pride in the services that they provide every time.”
