What people are saying
Very knowledgeable and captivating speaker, very professional and made the class fun to attend. The best training class I've ever attended.
I literally cannot say enough about Brent as an instructor. He was clearly very knowledgeable about the subject, he injected fun and interesting anecdotes, and above all was highly receptive to all interaction with the group. I would recommend this course to anyone based on the subject matter, but I would demand that everyone attend this if Brent is the instructor.
Brent was awesome. Outside of keeping the class fun and entertaining, Brent did an excellent job of being informative and there didn't seem to be anything that he couldn't answer.
Out of all of our companies classes we take this is the most interesting.
I have a lot of engineers in my life and not all of them can explain what they do in a way non-engineers understand.
