I really had good training experience from ATA and our instructor J Chaney. It was very through and knowledgable.

J. Chaney came to JBPHH, HI to instruct us for the SEC+ cert. We attended class Monday thru Friday, and tested. J taught us more than what was on the certification test, and he was available to answer all of our questions. I couldn't have passed the cert without his expertise.

This school is hands down the BEST IT school I have attended for SEC+. I have attended SEC+ twice at Fort Gordon and the information that is taught there was so outdated. I appreciate Applied Technology Academy so much! I actually enjoyed the instruction, it was not hard to follow, and the instructor, Mr. Chaney, was extremely knowledgeable. He was able to communicate to the lowest level from Beginner to advanced. Our class had 100% pass rate of who took the exam after the course was over. After the exam I was able to contact the instructor and Ms. Liz Pernaselci for more information. I was provided with the audio from the course to go over in the event I needed to brush up. We are also allowed to log in to any SEC+ Course afterwards without paying an additional fee. I really appreciate this school and will be attending more courses in the future!

I can't say enough good things about Applied Technology Academy. I require CompTia Security+ for my current job and this is the place that I went through to get it. Kim Locke was my initial contact that scheduled my class and J Chaney was my instructor and both are complete professionals. The quality of the class was unbelievable and totally prepared me for my S+ exam. I was very nervous about taking the exam but about half way through it I realized that J had nearly over prepared the class for success which is definitely the position that you want to be in. Overall, this is a top notch operation and I highly recommend them.

Our organization hosted a CompTIA Security+ Boot Camp in December, conducted by ATA. We had a 100% pass rate for the certification exam. The instructor, Mr. Chaney was one of the best that I have seen in the business! The ATA Services Director, Ms. Pernaselci, and the ATA operations and support team were top notch, being adaptable to last minute changing needs. I highly recommend ATA for your organization's IT Workforce certification needs!
