Testimonials
 An excellent course! I had some previous SS7 experience, but this course went through all the SS7 concepts and gave me a better understanding of the SS7 network's functionality and capabilities. Course was very interactive and it was adapting on the fly, following our interests and needs .

Instructor made sure material being covered was relevant to our job requirements. Allowed the class to dictated topics covered.
Instructor allowed conversation of topics to drift into real-world applications.
The instructor and the material fully met my expectations and the needs of the team
His knowledge of the industry as well as training methods made the class very effective.
Having spent years studying learning theories, I was impressed with the instructor's ability to make class a success.
As someone who processes the direct telecom bills for Facilities I was able to gain a better understanding of what SS7 is, how it relates to the work our engineers do (especially calculating trunks needed), and will trunks needed), and will be able hopefully to recognize its coding on our invoices.
The instructor was obviously very knowledgable on the subject matter and yet was able to explain it in terms that even I, not being an engineer, could easily understand.
I thought the instructor was an excellent instructor. I learned a lot. Thank you.
