Our Staff

We have a small staff, just two of us, which hardly qualifies as a "staff" - smile. But, our success is working with people to share the work so Dave and I can spend our time finding people to help, guiding them through the training and testing, letting them know why they failed, and encouraging people to get certified because today that is exactly how you get a job - who has more on their resume that will cause INDEED and humans to see that YOU have 10 things on your resume, maybe college, certifications, where you worked. INDEED and other are just looking at what words on your resume match the words on the job posting.
