What Our Loyal Students
Say About Train Signal's
"Total Experience" Training
"Train Signal products not only teach me how to maintain my network, I actually
gain understanding that is invaluable for the tests as well..."
I just wanted to send in my thanks. It’s really nice to have a product out
there for net admins that really delivers.
Everyone else seems to brag about how you can use their products to pass a test.
I've taken and passed several tests, and few contained the content I need on a day-to-day
basis.
Train Signal products not only teach me how to maintain my network, I actually gain
understanding that is invaluable for the tests as well. I bought your product at
my previous employer and will buy it for my current employer as funds become available.
Though your product is amazing, I would like to make one request that I feel would
complete the package. Most admins are clueless when it comes to scripting.
Everyone seems to have tons of advanced scripting, but just like everything else,
there are little to no explanations for the beginner. Could you please consider
adding something in that area to your training? Keep up the good work.
Thanks

"...the best paying job of
my IT career. Your videos
had a big part in that..."
I wanted to let you know I was asked today (3/16/2007) to provide references for
a Network Engineer position at a large world-wide law firm. Providing references
is typically the last step before an offer. This potentially could be the best paying
job of my IT career. Your videos had a big part in that.
I have two and half years experience with Active Directory and Exchange 2003, but
your videos showed me just what I needed to pass their skills assessment test. The
price was well worth it.
-Bill Boyd
"You guys have a unique ability to explain and visually demonstrate these esoteric
topics in a way that is easy to understand..."
I just wanted to let you know I have been very impressed with the orders we have
placed with you.
Last year we bought the Microsoft Server Complete Library. It is one of the best
I have seen.
You guys have a unique ability to explain and visually demonstrate these esoteric
topics in a way that is easy to understand.
I have attended many training classes where I was getting good information but because
of the way it was taught I had to force myself to pay attention and in some cases
just try not to fall asleep.
These videos are just the opposite. If I am not careful I will sit up too late watching
them.
Well, we just received our most recent order. This time we decided to order all of
your VMWare Videos. If they are as good as your other work then I know I'm going
to be happy.
Thanks for the help and keep up the good work.

"I will recommend TrainSignal to all of my tech buddies..."
I wanted to write and express my great satisfaction with the Exchange Server 2003
for SophiesToyBox.com. I am very impressed with the course. I felt as though I was
actually performing the tasks during the course.
Scott was great at explaining things and even going through the quirks that would
surely happen during an install. I am very pleased with the material and plan to
be back to purchase more. Great job. I will recommend TrainSignal to all of my tech
buddies.

"I am on my way to becoming an MCSE and have found your videos very informative.
However, your service deserves even more praise."
I inadvertently ordered two of the same course on Routing and Remote Access and
when I discovered my mistake, I was very upset.
Internet based companies are often hard to deal with. If you try to return something,
they put you off -sometimes indefinitely. I was almost sure that I would encounter
problems when I attempted to exchange the video.
I called Ashley on the phone and informed her of my intent to exchange the duplicate
video for another. She told me that she would send the other video when I returned
mine.
I sent the video back by UPS and within a few days I received a package with the
new Active Directory tutorial movie. I was so impressed that your company did not
try to hold the movie hostage or to delay sending it. Even though I am an avid supporter
of technology, I have to agree with those who say that the age of impersonal commerce
has opened doorways to poor service.
I hope your company is successful and that others realize the benefit of doing business
with someone they can trust!
Sincerely,
Nancy Ashley Ware
"I will be happy to recommend your products to anyone I know..."
Just to let you guys know I received my order this morning. Extremely happy with
the fast delivery service, since I ordered the product on Tuesday afternoon and
I received them Thursday morning (48hrs delivery from the US to the UK, that puts
to shame some mail order companies in the UK) I will be happy to recommend your
products to anyone I know.

"Train Signal Rocks!"
Keep kicking butt! I have purchased CBT nuggets before. They are good on theory
and very little application. Yours is both. Please keep up the great work Scott.
You are very gifted.
What I love about your stuff is you have the theory and then you apply and then
you test it! You go full circle. CBT nuggets leaves too many things open ended.
People don’t realize from the home CBT user. You need to go full circle theory,
application how to use it, and then prove it. Mistakes and proving things help us
see why? And help us handle the unexpected better. I also am a teacher at my work,
and this is what I do with effectiveness.
I also bought all of your courses all 21... I am studying for MCSE 2003 and your
course rocks better than classroom. Way better.
Keep up the great work. Train Signal rocks!

"I’m sure I will be buying a lot more videos from you. :)"
I bought the entire Windows training package and I am probably about half way through
it. I am definitely happy with the product. So far I’ve watched videos from
both Scott Skinger and Obaid Chhatriwala... Both do a very good job.
Again, I *am* really happy with the product and I think the instruction quality
of both Scott and Obaid is great! I’m only commenting on this because I’m
sure I will be buying a lot more videos from you. :)

"I highly recommend your products and I buy every new release that comes out."
I would like to say that I have had many “live” classes in everything
from MCSE to CCNA and your classes are as good or better. You can play the CDs over
and over or go back and review something that you did not really understand the
first time.
I highly recommend your products and I buy every new release that comes out. Please
keep up the great work!
