The training around network configuration and monitoring requirements provided
an immediate benefit in helping to implement new systems appropriately.


SUB TITLE

The training provided a background in PCI and gave me better understanding of
the various requirements – the highlight was the personal instruction and lively
classroom dynamic with the ability to learn from others’ questions.
