Report
The classrooms are on a small side but clean and comfortable equipped with desktop computers. My keyboard was faulty so I reported the issue to the front desk and within seconds they replaced it. The break room has ample space and equipped with home appliances to accommodate the brown bagger group - full size fridge, 2 microwave, hot/cold water dispenser, two large coffee makers, bagels and donuts every morning, and freshly baked cookies to end the day. I recommend Phoenix TS to any students looking for a place to learn or take their proctored exam.

Worst place to take an exam. It was so hot inside the exam room that I felt like taking off my shirt. Computer screens are so 20th century. Staff was behaving like I was a criminal, not a customer.

If possible I take all exams at this location. It's clean, quiet, they provide lockers for your belongings and it's close by. They also provide headphones for an added sense of focused isolation. I've taken 3 exams here. Twice I was the only person in the testing center and the other time there was one person.

I had a great time learning ethical hacking. West Goewey was a very good instructor. He explained everything and gave us real-world experiences to help us understand the concepts. The training materials are very good, and the facility is nice. All staff members have excellent customer service skills.

Phoenix TS instructors are always the best! The management is on top of the training provided for us. The material arrive way ahead of time and I have no doubt that everything will run smoothly. Thank you for a job well done!

In 20 years of IT and IA training, I have finally seen firsthand a corporation with the most dynamic, knowledgeable, and competent trainers in the business. Phoenix places all the parts of the training pie together in such a remarkably inspiring and useful way that one can't help but come away feeling competent, confident, and eager to use the IT skills they have acquired. Phoenix Technologies deliver the IT training goods.
They teach skills that are immediately useful to employees, as well as mid and senior level managers. I use skills that I learned from Phoenix virtually every day in working with my own IT and IA issues. Each course that Phoenix offers provides an impressive and comprehensive blend of theory and practice. The instructors are the most knowledgeable in the business and easy to work with. I will highly recommend Phoenix Technologies to any governmental organization that requires IT and IA training without any reservation.

I just wanted to write you a short note to thank you for your assistance on getting all of our classes scheduled. Phoenix TS has been nothing but a pleasure to work with. The classes that you provide are very good, starting with the books to the instructor. I know this, because I was in one of the classes; and it was very well taught and explained. I always get compliments from the students on the courses that you provide for us. Thank you again and I look forward to working with you in the near future on our upcoming courses!
