I just thought i'd throw you this little thank you mail, saying thank you. I have finally obtained the dream job i was looking for, one that you referred me to, working as part of a 2 man computer technician team for a local architectural development group. Had it not been for your school, I would have likely never found the job since they removed their ads from the listings.

When I left my position at [my first I.T. job] (after 2 years), I was earning $45,000 plus a $5,000 bonus. I was computer troubleshooting, correcting desktop network issues, solving printer problems, installing numerous programs and peripherals (troubleshooting them as well). You training definite paid off. I knew very little about computers before your excellent training.

From my first day of class, I knew DTC was the right choice for me. In the other places I researched, I felt that I would be just another 'number'. DTC treated me as an individual right away and were flexible throughout the MCSE program to tailor to my needs. I thought getting my MCSE would be an arduous journey, but DTC provided the quality instruction and support to help guide me towards my certification. Rick Nye, the instructor, must have been an interpreter in a previous life. He was able to translate difficult concepts into terms I was able to understand. As an instructor myself, I feel Rick Nye creates a quality classroom conducive for learning. If I had a question, it was answered. If I needed an example to demonstrate a point, he provided one. Rick was able to evaluate my learning and point out areas I needed to study. DTC even went out of their way to let me practice in their facilities. I highly recommend DTC to anyone who wishes to take that next big step in their career.

This note is to the potential students of DTC. I knew very little about computers before attending DTC. I was an Army Infantry Officer looking for an enjoyable career. Rick Nye has guided and mentored me, as he will for you, into the light of an MCSE and CCNA® certification. Rick is truly the best teacher I've seen in over 225 hours of college coursework. He truly cares you understand the material and takes the time to answer every question, no matter how basic. Rick will prepare you for each exam. Don't waste another day in a job you hate. Find out when the next course is starting and simply begin. I guarantee you will thank me.

I participated in the day track and will never regret my choice. Now, I'm trying to decide whether to work for Microsoft, Intel or Boeing. You can do it too!!!

I just wanted to write and say, "Thank You!". The information and training that I've received from you has helped me out tremendously. It's not everyday that an instructor will stop what he or she is doing to help out a student at just about any hour of the day! There were a few times that I had gotten into a bind at work and you helped me through it. Most technical support locations make you feel like an idiot if you call for help, but you helped me out without being critical of my mistakes. Just the opposite, you walked me through and explained to me my mistakes and answered my questions in a way that made me feel good about myself. Thank you for all of the support you've shown me in the past few months. Keep up the good work!

Rick was an outstanding instructor and had answers to all my questions almost instantly. His knowledge and experience was far beyond that of all other instructors I've known. Rick was very flexible, always accommodating to my busy schedule, and willing to instruct late or even on the weekends if needed. I left his class with a confidence knowing the material better than ever. I would highly recommend him to colleagues in search of a deeper more advanced knowledge of Microsoft systems.

I'm very happy with my DTC experience! I went in with almost no networking knowledge and today I'm an MCSE. I learned so much in a short amount of time and am now ready to start a career in Information Technology. DTC offers a warm and enjoyable learning environment, and works with you to meet your needs.

Since I was very limited on time and availability, DTC worked with me to schedule a two week Boot Camp that fit my schedule. By having one-on-one training with one of the best instructors that I have ever had, I was able to pass 6 of the 7 MCSE exams in only ten days. I picked up the 7th exam two weeks later to complete my MCSE certification. My average exam score of 791 is a true testament to Rick's teaching skill. Rick is able to supplement his instruction with real world work experience which is so lacking in other schools. I highly recommend the Boot Camp for experienced professionals that do not have a lot of time.

[The instructor] is exceptional in the way she presents herself and the course material. She always takes the time to make sure that all material is understood prior to moving on to the next module. Great job!

It was a great class and [Martha] is a great nstructor. It's nice that you pretend to be on our level; it makes it less intimidating. Look forward to study groups. Thanks so much!

DTC was all I could have expected and more! Rick Nye is one of the most knowledgeable people in the business today. He has a characteristic rare to the industry...he can communicate in the most technical terms, or explain it in layman's terms. He and Martha were great throughout my entire MCSE track. They welcomed me into their home and made me feel like family from the beginning. I had completed my Masters degree in IT but needed the specialization the MCSE offers. Rick's experience in the field and his numerous certifications gave me exactly that. I wholeheartedly recommend DTC to anyone looking for certification AND the "hands-on" knowledge to succeed in today's IT world. You can count on DTC for just about any certification you could need. I know I will! I've already gotten MCSE and Cisco®!

After 4 different colleges over 8 years, and a small fortune, I found myself again left behind the times in the IT world. I also found that what I had been taught in the college classroom was the book, and only hints of what I needed to apply to real-world situations. This left my job security hanging by a thread, as I struggled to solve problems and create new solutions. Finally I found DTC. Now at half the cost and a fraction of the time (6 weeks), I not only found the answers in the book, but the concepts and full understanding of what I have been doing for the last 25 years in the IT field. I passed all of my certification tests for MCSE and Cisco CCNA® with confidence.

I now know not only what I am doing, but why. I learned the book, the tests, and what to realistically expect. The environment is on a more professional level with my peers, as opposed to a mixed environment with [recent] high-school graduates that could slow the learning process. DTC offers customized tracks to allow each of the students to excel at their own pace. I found more resources before, during, and after the completion of my curriculum.

Now I am not so stressed fighting to keep up. I am ahead of the technology that I used to so desperately pursue. The best part is my family, that I now have time for. I now have so many marketable skills to offer any employer.

DTC, I thank you, my family thanks you, and I am sure my future employers will thank you.

[The instructor's] abilities to teach surpass any of those that I've ever had before. She made it a point to ensure we were comfortable with the day's lesson before moving on to the next subject matter. Time was never an issue, nor did we ever feel any pressure to move faster than we were capable of. Wonderful job!

[The instructor] was very well prepared to teach this course. She was able to put together this class with only 2 days notice. Her knowledge and experience with writing queries in SQL has helped me tremendously. She always made sure we were clear in one Module prior to moving on to the next one. I can't wait until I take the upcoming SQL programming class with her.

Tony Mendez

Excellent preparation and course layout. The handouts worked great!

Comments by a student on SQL 2073

Rick is an excellent instructor. His teaching style is second to none. I would have never thought two months ago that I would know half as much about computers as I do now.
