Student Testimonials

Teenah Eco
Technical Support Analyst

"I had been a working professional for 10+ years, I had no prior experience working in IT, and to pivot into a completely different career industry sounded risky.

Eddie played a huge part with supporting me, encouraging me, and he gave me the reassurance I needed to do my best.

In one year, I obtained my A+, Net+, and Sec+. Soon after I landed my first IT role as a Technical Support Analyst.

Eddie's teaching style is very casual, thorough, and fun. It's almost like having a group discussion on the topics. He guides you through all the concepts and focuses on anything that you're having issues understanding. He will also take the time to answer any clarifying questions and be there for you if you need individual help.

He offers resume reviews, and career advice as well. Just think of Eddie like he's a buffet of IT knowledge.

Eddie really cares about his students and their success. He is there for you from the beginning, from day one, and he will be there for you every step of the way...and even after. "
