Testimonials
“The location, time, facilities, instructor, WUSTL staff are excellent for those needing professional courses. I liked the hard copies of the books which were the slides discussed during the lecture and the hands-on computer lab exercises. The instructor had a good sense of humor and kept our interest and provided appropriate breaks. He answered questions relevant and had excellent real-world experience. The available beverages and snacks were very much appreciated when there's not much time during lecture to find a vending machine. Overall, this is the best professional certification course I've had in years.” - Fall 2017 Participant
