WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

CMMC FUNDAMENTALS

The CMMC Fundamentals course was exactly what my team needed to move the ball down the field, as CMMC consultants to many clients in the Defense Industrial Base. The way that Joy & Brian walked through the practices, policies and processes, pointing out areas where “you can be compliant but not secure, and you can be secure but not compliant,” helped us gain the verbiage and context we need to have a successful launch into the CMMC guidance with my clients. I am devouring the workbook and will be using this to navigate deeper collaboration with my own team. It feels great to know a team like Edwards has our back and is available for continued guidance as we move forward. I highly recommend this course.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT & SYSTEMS ENGINEERING COURSES

This is one of the better classes I’ve ever taken. The material matched (actually really rare to have) and the instructor not only knew the material, but conveyed lots of helpful information and different ways to retain the info. Would highly advise this bootcamp over individual PM classes.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT COURSES

Extremely personable instructor, very knowledgeable in Project Management and presented an extremely informational class. Adapting to online classes is a challenging task and the instructor presented the information flawlessly and kept participation up throughout both days. Can’t stress enough the importance of being personable and interactive with students and he was nothing but a pleasure to work with.
