Military IT Training and Government IT Certifications

We were in the market for curriculum to teach virtualization from a broader perspective than by just teaching one specific platform because our employers in the local area were not using the same virtualization product across the board. Ascend Education's virtualization program turned out to be the answer. The curriculum includes text, video demonstrations, and ample virtual labs to teach the topics at a higher level than courses that only teach concepts. The cost per student is very attractive, and we have graduated many potential employees that understand the virtualization realized by HyperV, VMware, Xserver, and cloud products in a one semester program. We are very satisfied with Ascend Education and are investigating other products from their line of curriculums.

The Virtualization Essentials course provided the material my students needed. It provides a good understanding of the basics of various platforms they are likely to see in the industry and the labs help to give hands-on experience with the software. Their support is helpful and quick to respond when needed.

I was looking for reliable courseware that would allow students to gain hands on experience in cybersecurity and to develop baseline skills necessary to perform core security functions in IT security careers. Needless to say, I knew finding either type of courseware would be difficult, if not impossible. Ascend Education hit a home run in both areas! They offered exactly the courseware I was looking for to engage and challenge my students without all the frustration and stress sometimes associated with courseware. I wholeheartedly give my strongest recommendation for Ascend Education every chance I get, and I look forward to continued use of their courseware.

Ascend Education has helped prepare my students for success with their CompTIA Security+ exams after only one quarter! The detailed labs and content that mirrors the objectives of the exam makes Ascend’s access a fantastic tool for success. The implementing policy server’s lab has even helped my students gain attention from a local company and helped give them internship opportunities. I cannot thank Ascend enough, as an instructor their organization has been more of a family to me than a business. They understand that I value my students’ success and collectively help make it the most important part of what we do.

The videos, e-text and hands-on labs you provided are top-notch. The hands-on lab environment allows students to work on the labs anytime, anywhere.

The CySA course material from Ascend has improved our cybersecurity courses significantly. Students have been impressed by the clean interface, and impressive video content. The integrated hands-on labs excelled their work in the classroom. As an instructor, the content integration in our LMS was a lifesaver. It saved time and effort in regards to maintaining grades. The staff at Ascend Education are prompt, courteous and responsive to any questions or concerns we had throughout the semester. Overall, I would highly recommend Ascend course materials.
