"When I was training I found myself using CyberVista’s quiz bank a lot, plus they tested me in other ways such as the initial diagnostic exam, the midterm, and the final exam. Getting used to the wording and doing all those practice questions helped me prepare. There was also a system at CyberVista for figuring out my strengths and weaknesses – it honed in on the areas I needed to study more."
"Before CyberVista I was given an opportunity to attend a one-week boot camp. Since my employer was paying for it, I did not hesitate to take advantage of the offer. After that one-week boot camp, I came out of there with more questions than I had going in. I did not feel prepared and the training just simply wasn’t enough. CyberVista’s curriculum is an integration of live online lectures, on-demand videos, and an array of self-study tools–it was just what I needed."
"I started with a free self-study course and quickly found the accountability was missing. CyberVista’s live interactive course using the light board was a first for me and a great experience overall. It kept me accountable and engaged. The real-life experience of the instructors was evident and their ability to articulate concepts was great. The value of interacting with other students in this live environment was also a significant benefit. It’s not easy getting folks to participate, but CyberVista made it happen."
