Customer's Comments:
Peter is an excellent instructor. Not only did he achieve the obvious goal of relaying the needed information for the course, he did so in a manner that made the class interesting and enjoyable. Peter took the time to make sure we could apply our new knowledge to our individual campus environment. We gained much more than a certification from this program, we gained real world knowledge that will increase our trouble-shooting and design abilities. For me personally, I also fee that I gained a friend. Thanks Peter!
