CLOSE BIO

"I like Mike's style of teaching. By giving up a project to work on, it allowed for problems and questions to come up that otherwise I never would have though of. I was able to work on a problem and solve it as if it was a real-world situation. "

Melissa Ziemba - TranSystems

"Michael was great. He didn't simply go over the software, rather he applied real world project management philosophies which kept the class completely interested. Also the staff was one of the most pleasant and helpful staffs I have ever encountered. I will definitely think of Training Connection FIRST for my future training needs and desires."
