PKI Training Student Testimonials

Paul Dale

Professional Services Consultant, TITUS

"Mark's PKI courses on MSFT ADCS are by far and away the very, very best on the market! I've never met anybody who knows more than he does around the technology, and I simply cannot recommend him highly enough!"

Charlie Kawasaki

CISSP, Software Diligence Services, and chief technical officer, PacStar

“It’s a real treat and privilege to attend, I’m learning a ton, and it’s directly related to the work I do.  The labs so far have been amazing. You are a master presenter, and an obvious master of the subject matter, which also makes it enjoyable.”

William H. Knight

Sr. Systems Administrator, Deloitte

“The class was excellent. The content was useful, detailed and as advanced as I was hoping it'd be. The hands-on labs were very well thought out, easy to understand and effectively linked the course content and lecture to actual implementation."

LV McCoy

Cryptographic Management & Operations Subject Matter Expert

"The training allowed me to deepen my understanding of ADCS and boost my confidence as the PKI administrator for my enterprise. Great company and training! By far the best in the market."

Lourdes Herling

Cyber Security Analyst, Nebraska Public Power District

“The class definitely exceeded my expectations. My PKI knowledge has grown substantially. I plan on applying several of the concepts to our internal PKI. I will be recommending your courses to anyone who needs to increase their PKI knowledge.”

Matt Walker

IT Manager, Stronghold Ltd.

"My PKI re-deployment definitely wouldn't have been successful without the knowledge and tools I gained this week. Your class should definitely be required for anyone attempting ADCS."
