"Any TrainSignal Lab that has Heather Ackmann's name on it, I will make a point of getting...": I purchased my first TrainSignal Lab over 3 years ago and the Access 2007 Lab is the only one where they have told a fib. The brief says 18 hours 2 minutes and 25 seconds of video tutorials however with the smooth information packed delivery and the easy to listen to style of Heather I believe it seems more like 22 hours of instruction.

Of the 35+ TrainSignal Labs I have, this is undoubtedly the best one to date that I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. Heather presents this Lab in a way that is logically progressive and while this is the same for all the Labs I have, Access 2007 has just that bit more oomph to it. The smooth and easy to listen to delivery is what I believe packs in the seemingly extra 4 hours of tutorial information.

I had never used Access because is just seemed too hard and too complex. Heathers teaching expertise has simplified how to use Access and removed this blinkered view that I should never have had. Any TrainSignal Lab that has Heather Ackmann's name on it (hackmann, what a logon name eh) I will make a point of getting because I know just how good it will be even before reading what the Lab will be about.

I use PowerPoint, but already I am looking forward to the new and unknown features Heather will be teaching me about it.

"I highly recommend your training to others, it is portable, affordable, and very informative.": How can I thank you. I have been working for Bear Stearns for 20 some years and we were acquired by JP Morgan Chase.

My whole group was not retained and so now I will be looking for employment within 3 months.

I have purchased 10 of your products to help reestablish myself. The training is great. I am currently studying with the VMware training course now.

I highly recommend your training to others, it is portable, affordable, and very informative. Most important is that if you are faced with a new learning curve you can go home use Trainsignal and be prepared the next day to tackle that situation

Again I thank you. Keep up the good work.

"...the real advantage is being able to watch them over and over again.": It is difficult for me to take time away from the office, so watching your training videos has kept me up with this fast moving industry.

Besides being able to watch the videos at my convenience, the real advantage is being able to watch them over and over again. This insures a thorough understanding of the subject material. I have already watched Vista, Exchange 2007, Sharepoint 2007, and Microsoft Access 2007.

With confidence, I have taken the skills that I picked up from watching the videos and put them into practice.

I find TrainSignal a great product, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

I give it a rating of 5 out of 5.

Thanks,
Casey Drozd
"...I have found the training very informative and not at all boring...": Recently I have needed to do a lot of retraining, both on Windows Servers and Now MS Access.

My first exposure was to the Small Business Server 2003 video which I borrowed.

Because I found this training so good (and I had looked at a number of other suppliers) there was no doubt that when I was looking for Access training I would choose your training. Again I have been very pleased with the training in this DVD and am looking forward to getting down to the nitty grities of building a Database again.

Specifically, I have found the training very informative and not at all boring (as evidenced by a number of other companies.)

As to recommending TrainSignal training to others, that goes without question.

I will be looking forward to seeing you produce something for MS Dynamics CRM as that is where the company I work for is setting there sights for the future.

Regards,
Donald Barker
"The videos are clear, concise, and above all, professionally correct.": Hi all TrainSignal People,

I just wanted you to know that I found your training videos by going to http://www.petri.co.il/. This site highly recommended your videos so I decided to take the plunge. I am so glad I did.

The videos are clear, concise, and above all, professionally correct.

We have videos on Exchange, DNS, DHCP, Outlook 2007, Excel 2007,Cisco, Access 2007 and of course the free Windows Server 2008 essentials. I have used the Exchange, DNS, and DHCP videos to enhance my knowledge of network systems and to fine tune our own systems.

I rate your videos at a (out of 5) because they are that good. Just yesterday, at a technological conference in Knoxville, I met a guy who was just starting out in IT. He asked me what sort of training should he invest in to really learn the network systems he was currently being asked to managed. I told him to look at TrainSignal because he would be impressed by the quality of the training.

Thanks and happy 6th anniversary,
Bob Andres Network Systems Manager, National Safe Skies Alliance
