Instructor comments: Mr. Moore was very knowledgeable in the subject area and kept us on target and interested in subject area by inputting relevant stories from his project management experience.

Facilities comments: Room was adequate for the training environment just big enough for the class size and still not feel like a broom closet.

Instructor comments: very knowledgeable and very supportive and empathetic. Taught us not only the content but the test-taking techniques. Instructor talks during lab/practice tests which is harder to concentrate.
