Customer Testimonials
"I was
stationed with a unit on Okinawa, in Japan, where we didn't get to do
our jobs very much, due to having them sold to a civilian contractor
company. When I got to this class, I was way behind everybody else in
the class with me. Now I feel like I could do my job just as well as
the rest of the guys I work with."
"This class is for the motivated. The days are long with many hours
dedicated to study. A great way to advance but only if you have the
want."

“My Vigilar experience was excellent from start to finish. The quality of the instructor, the venue, the curriculum and the flexibility offered were all second to none! I would recommend Vigilar to anyone interested in doing a bootcamp!.”

"This course made amazing things happen for our unit in a very
short amount of time, right before we were going to need it: during an
imminent deployment to Iraq."
"I have attended around 10
different IT/network-related courses and Intense School had the most
knowledgeable instructor that I have ever had. He did a fantastic job."
Robert Lee
USMC
"I would love to be able to get
more of this type of instruction to my Platoon. If you are will to send
instructors to Iraq with us, we will be more than happy to show them a
good time and pick their brains while they are in country."
Roman Dain
USMC
I got my MCSE Security+
certification and LEARNED so much. Even though there was a lot of
material to cover, the instructor knew exactly how to deliver it and
made us learn always through exercises, labs, examples and crystal
clear explanations. It was a great experience, no question went
unanswered. I´m very satisfied and will take other training courses
from you as well as recommend Vigilar and Intense School with my best
references."
"I wanted to write the appropriate
person at Intense School to let them know how exceptional the
instructor is. He is unrelenting in seeking out the answer to any and
all questions that are raised. The way he handles a class and his
knowledge of the subject matter certainly make Intense School the right
choice. The site coordinator also did an excellent job of making
himself available whenever needed. His flexibility allowed for a much
more custom tailored training environment. And as usual,my account rep
made the whole experience flawless. This was my fourth boot camp with
Intense School and as usual it was another outstanding performance. Due
to these experiences, I would highly recommend Intense School to
anyone."
"Intense School's team were great people, very open and easy to communicate with."
"It was a great program for what it was designed for."
"Great instructor. He kept us focused and on track."
"Overall, Intense School has an
exceptional program for preparing individuals with varying levels of
experience with the essentials for passing the Microsoft Security +
Certification tests. The course curriculum is demanding, however, our
instructor, was dedicated to keep us focused and greatly increased our
chances of success. Intense School's attention to detail is shown
through all staff. The course's site administrator made sure that all
were afforded the opportunity to focus on the course. All other matters
were handled by the site administrator. Intense School is the way to go
for accelerated technical learning."
"The MCSE:Security+ class was
informative and well planned and carried out. Time went by quickly and
information was easily received and understood."
"This course is an excellent opportunity for experienced IT
professionals to get that ever important certification within a very
short period. I had been getting stagnant in the administrator position
I was in, this boot camp will definitely give your brain a jump start
to get moving again. Excellent instructor with great real world
experiences. The site administrator very helpful in the classroom with
many of the extra things that helped get through the busy days."
"This course made amazing things
happen for our unit in a very short amount of time, right before we
were going to need it: during an imminent deployment to Iraq."
"This was a very challenging two
weeks but the reward is your MCSE so you learn to push through the
harder subject areas. Get through the 70-291 exam...you're home free.
Thanks and I look forward to my next experience with Intense School."
"I highly recommend Intense School for IT training"
"Intense School provided us with
a supportive environment during the 14-day training. The instructor was
very good. She adequately answered all questions. The facility was
available 24X7 for those who needed the classroom and PCs for
practicing & studying; drinks & snacks were always available;
catered lunch was provided every single day; and the site administrator
& instructor were available around the clock."
Debbie Pass
"Kelly and Chris are a great
team. I passed every test the first time because of the time that our
instructor invested in me. The hours were long and the material can be
dry and esoteric but Kelly kept us on track. Her sense of humor was
invaluable. Our logistician, Chris was very flexible about scheduling
the tests - some as late at 7:00 in the evening - just to make sure
that anyone (like me) who needed that extra hour to study. I was really
impressed with the skill and the breadth of knowledge that the
instructor demonstrated. Thank you so much.
"The Intense School Team were
wonderful to work with. They were accommodating in every way. They made
the two weeks a memorable experience. I came in with reservation on how
I will complete such a big task in only two weeks. They assure me that
it can be done with encouragement and positive feedback. Thank you both
helping me get through these two weeks."
"The instructor and Site
Administrator worked together to provide a great experience over these
past two weeks. I would not have been able to pass my MCSE
2003+Security and and MCSE 2008 upgrade without their hard work and
help.
"It was a lot of fun. Very exhausting and lots and lots of work and no sleep, but it was all well worth it in the end."
