"I ordered this course and within a week I had my exchange server up and going properly."

I would like to take this time and tell you how helpful found these videos. I have gone through books, online sessions, forums and I never really understood exchange in and out.

I ordered this course and within a week I had my exchange server up and going properly. I couldn't have asked for a better product and sometimes its nice to hear that instead of the bad stuff.

Thank you.

"I was able to effectively
learn Exchange 2007 in less
than 3 days..."

I thought you might be interested to hear from SonicWALL in regards to how valuable your products truly are. I am a L3 Email Security Engineer with SonicWALL Email Security E-Class and your comprehensive and concise instructor led videos have allowed me to so much more efficiently take care of my clientele, not only with support of SonicWALL products, but Microsoft and Cisco support as well.

I recently needed to learn Exchange 2007 for a case that I was working on, so I opted for your videos yet again. I was able to effectively learn Exchange 2007 in less than 3 days. I have been in the IT Industry now for about 8 years, a third of my life. I have painstakingly studied almost every book for the MCSA/MCSE, Cisco Technologies, Wireless Security and more.

I have also had an opportunity to evaluate other Instructor-Led videos from other companies, and the facts in this next statement are incontrovertible; these videos are simply the best. So much so, that I always recommend these to my clients to further their own education. I look forward to continuing my educational endeavors and career with your videos.

"I haven’t found any good books which can explain Exchange 2007 as thoroughly as the TrainSignal video instructor does..."

Why did I purchase this course? To get certified and also to improve hands on skills for my existing job and also for any other opportunities in other companies.

I have achieved my goals by watching TrainSignal videos. It helped me understand the product, how to deploy the product, what to consider and keep in mind when deploying the product, how to make configuration changes after installing the product.

TrainSignal videos are definitively the building blocks of creating a solid foundation when learning a technology such as Exchange 2007. I can always go back and review the videos as many times as I want without paying a single cent. It is like having an instructor at your hands.

I haven’t found any good books which can explain Exchange 2007 as thoroughly as the TrainSignal video instructor does. In my opinion TrainSignal Videos are extremely helpful to anyone who wants to gain hands on experience by watching the training videos. I am giving a five stars rating... Highly Recommended.

"I am looking to get certified in Exchange 2007 and also get more hands on skills..."

I have used your courses in the past and they seem to be very well put together. The course for Exchange 2007 has put me closer to my goal.

It has giving me some very good experience on the look and feel, shown me the proper configuration, and shown me the new features and functionality that were not available on the older versions of Exchange.

Ron G Knox Senior Systems Engineer, MCP, MCSA, MCSE, www.iceomatic.com
"I am working with customers that will be upgrading to Exchange Server 2007, and I needed to prepare for that..."

The course has definitely helped prepare me. I have always found TrainSignal training videos to be of the best quality. Video training is a very useful way to learn as it allows me to work along side the trainer in a hands on manner. There are specifics in this video that bring out aspects of Exchange 2007 that I may not have learned until I actually worked with the software on my own.

Since I am working with live servers in small business environments, I don’t have access to test servers. These training videos help ensure that I am able to get things setup and running right from the start.

Adam Short
"You guys were the only ones where I could buy a training CD
and learn on my own, and on
my own schedule..."

I wanted to see how to setup Exchange 2007 and to use most of its new features. Your training class helped me learn many things about Exchange, the setup process and how to administer it.

Side note: Whenever I am looking for a new technology to learn about, I go to your site first to see if you guys have it on CD yet. Keep up the good work!

Thank you,

John Sloan Senior Systems Engineer , Genesis Healthcare, www.genesishcc.com
