“15 months ago I was made redundant from a bus company. Now I have a new career as a Microsoft Systems Administrator earning £35,000 a year. I have got LiveTrain Learning to thank for providing me with the learning materials and support to start in an entirely new career direction”
Trevor Linch MCSE, Winchester, Kent
“The quality of the training materials is very impressive and they provide a lot more than just the paper based courseware you would normally get for spending twice as much with other companies. I find the video lectures and demonstrations very informative. Most of all I like the fact that I get lots of hands on practice!”
Irene Vincent, Worthing, Sussex
“We used to send our staff away to learn Microsoft Office at £400 per day; we can now provide each staff member with the same instructor-led style training on site for a fraction of that price”
Sue Herbert, Personnel Manager, Datalink
“This course is very well presented. The instructor is clear and concise, provides a wealth of knowledge and explains the real world applications. The CEH course is definitely for anyone who is serious about Computer Security. I would recommend this course to anyone presently doing programming who wishes to get a better understanding of the different classes of a hacker and the procedures in which a "cracker" (Black Hat Hacker) goes through to gain access into any system. I am enjoying going through this course-- and I am going to complete it ahead of time!”
