    "Thanks so much for providing this class. I'm a novice when it comes to testing, but the information was straightforward and understandable. I will be able to use everything covered in the first two days when I'm in the field, whether I'm running the test device or not. Super happy that you have made this available."

    - J. Tuxbury, a past participant of the previous virtual class. 

    "Wow, this was the best online training I had ever attended. Overall a great experience. Even attending it at night was okay due to the interactive manner of training and the amount of information provided."

    - D. Fischer, a past participant of the previous virtual class.
