I wish I could say I had a great experience with MicroTrain, I did not. I took the following classes; Network+, Six Sigma Green Belt, PMP, and ITIL4. These classes were part of the WIOA program I signed up for. They did not have a choice for instructors for these classes; in fact, I had the same instructor for 3 out of the 4 classes and I just couldn't tolerate her training style by the end of it all.

MicroTrain is a Workforce training and services provider for the unemployed. This location boasts ample conference, meeting and training rooms. The staff is very professional, friendly and helpful as a WIOA partner. They really do mean "We've got your back, back to work". Highly recommend using MicroTrain for extended learning opportunities.

Microtrain offers day, night and weekend classes and this is one of the reasons I chose the school for it's flexibility and various certifications they offered. The instructors are great and they work in the industry they teach. I'm taking classes at the Lombard location and the staff is very nice and helpful.

If I could award more than five stars to Microtrain Technologies I would. I completed the 'Project Management Professional +3' program this summer in their Lombard location, and from a very accommodating course enrollment process to a comfortable training environment to the high-caliber instructors and job placement / career services support from Microtrain advisers, the entire experience was a joy.
I researched two other training providers in the area and chose Microtrain for a number of reasons, not least of which was their facility. The Lombard office was welcoming, classroom seats were comfortable, computer equipment was well maintained, and the building's cafe (open for breakfast and lunch) serves surprisingly tasty food. Microtrain does offer its own lunchroom for brown-baggers, and a number of popular restaurants dwell nearby.
If you are considering computer training companies in the Chicagoland area, do yourself a favor and include Microtrain in your vetting process. I cannot recommend them highly enough (I'm limited to five stars, remember?)
