“I'm simply amazed at the instructor’s vast knowledge and experience. But most importantly, his expert ability to articulate the material across the spectrum – from simple to complex – in what appears to be effortless for him. My favorite Einstein quote is, "If you can't explain it simply, then you don't know it well enough." The instructor, Christopher Crowley, obviously knows how to explain ANY topic simply. The result was enabling me to focus on what was being presented and to absorb the enormous volume of information in a short period of time. His warm demeanor and wit was also much appreciated. He is truly a consummate professional who is unquestionably dedicated to his students. Thank you for an incredible experience!” - Former Student
