—- A few comments from IT Manager Institute SELF STUDY Students —-

“The IT Manager Institute will help me with the practical suggestions, ready-to-use templates and down-to-earth advice that I can apply at a pace I am comfortable with that are all so real and yet often not sufficiently addressed. I strongly recommend the IT Manager Institute and hope to see the Advanced Class offered in Self Study format.”
Nigel Kim; Singapore

“I was very impressed with the detail of instruction and the obvious real-world experiences that are provided in the self-study.  I couldn’t get enough of the “Silver-Dollar Experiences”.  It is helpful, while studying a concept, to be able to see real examples along with the outcomes. I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone interested in enhancing their ability to manage in an IT environment.”
