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!

Eric is an amazing instructor. The class was very well informed and as someone who has been in this field for close to 14 years, I thoroughly enjoyed adding to my arsenal of tools. I especially like the option to view the class on recordings because for those of us deployed it’s extremely difficult for us to watch them live while on mission. Labs are ok, just wish there was more explanation to them from the lab material itself. The advantage of taking this course in a live classroom setting I’m sure. All in all I look forward to my CHFI class coming up Aug 17th. Thank you for all you guys do for us.

So, I have used ATA for several bootcamps and they have all been great. All the instructors I have had have been excellent. The staff is helpful and responsive. I have asked if a class could record sessions for me and they have reached out to the professor to get that done. I can't wait for their new AWS offerings.
