Student Comments
"I am a person that is not very easily impressed. In my business I deal with many people internally and externally that claim a lot of things. As far as Mr. Billows goes what he delivered greatly exceeded what he advertised. On the introduction to the course Dick says 'You won't learn this course from this disk you will learn this course from me."
“The feedback was like an ongoing conversation with a friendly senior PM who had seen it all.”
