For most of us, the time and extra knowledge gained are well worth the expense, you will be focused on what is important. 

I can't say enough about Herb ....

Everyone seeking an MCSE should take your course ASAP and most importantly sign up for the test in advance ((STOMP)) so you can take them as soon as the week long course is over! I can't express enough how excited I am knowing that I finished in 2 days! While I was leaving the testing center the owner/manager offered me job on the spot! He said he has never seen anyone come in and take all 6 exams in a row and pass! I'm not so sure about taking the job but it is a great feeling getting the respect. 

Thanks again Herb for your excellent instruction!

Thanks again for your course, and the polo shirt. Without you, all I would have had was "applied knowledge." After taking your course, I took six tests in ten days, and got my MCSE.

I have since moved on and up from the company I was with when I attended your class, and I owe my continued success to your class. I constantly recommend your classes to anyone serious about being MCSE. 

I'm currently working on my +I and MCT certifications.

Thanks again.

I just got my shirt here at Shell. I instantly went into my office, shut the door and changed into the shirt. Thanks for sending it. 

On another note. I was speaking with a friend with whom I used to work with at Compaq and told here how wonderful all of you were. She is a team lead for their Exchange group and expressed a true interest in your services.  I know she and other members of her team are needing to get their MCSE's and would be well served by LearnQuick.Com, so you may want to send her some information.

I gave her your Web address and I would not be surprised to learn she has already looked at it. Some of her co-workers had been using a 'boot camp' in Colorado so your cost savings should be real interesting to them. 

Anyway, thanks for the shirt and all the support. Colleen and I are looking forward to meeting you at the party next month.

Thanks,

I enjoyed your class and thought you did an excellent job.

To those still working on it, keep the faith & follow Herb's recipe it works.

Just wanted to let ya'll know that I just completed the last of my 6 MCSE exams on Tuesday.  Six for six with no close calls. Thanks Herb.

GREAT NEWS!!! As per Herb's explicit instructions I scheduled my 6 tests for this week (2 on Monday, 2 on Tuesday and 2 on Wednesday). I passed all 6 on my first attempt!!! I spent a couple of hours each day reviewing before writing the exams.

Thanx Herb for an excellent course. If you plan on running the MCSE+Internet courses, or the speed reading courses, please let me know.

Best regards,

 Hi Herb,

I am Steve Thompson. I talked with you the other day on the phone about DHCP and Scopes and what not. I just wanted to let you know that your advice on the situation was just what I needed. I got everything working and proceeded to spend the next 40+ hours (in a near contiguous block) overhauling our network. We integrated two domains into one for organizational reasons. In any event, it was quite a challenge. 

Within 6 months of my certification, I moved up from a systems administrator position to managing an IT team - greatly improving my salary and career prospects.

Thanks again for a stellar program!

After watching this list for a few weeks, I have noted that there are messages that stream in from a "Herb Martin." Sometimes these messages come in at all hours of the day and night -- often covering a period of 15-18 hours a day. Now these messages are chock full of detailed, informative, reassuring, encouraging, helpful, assistive type of information. The detailed ones especially seem as if they are originating from one of Bill Gates' Gnomes in Redmond. They are long -- but not dreary -- detailed -- but not too much -- and most of all, they remove the "haze" that surrounds the many tomes that I and many -- if not most of us -- slave over, hour after hour, day after day, and week after week. My concern is -- how can one "human being" garner so much detailed information and have it ready at his finger tips -- (I  was going to say on the tip of his tongue -- but you have to pay $3000 to see his tongue!!). With the hundreds or so questions on the hundres of topics that are generated in any 24-hour period -- how is this "Herb Martin" able to spew out such precise and detailed information at a moment's notice and then switch gears (or HDD's!) and render the same type of helpful information on a sometimes completely different topic to another person?

Is it possible that one "Human Being" could take globs of clay (our minds) and mold them in such a way that readers of this list actually learn, comprehend and really understand this stuff?? -- that readers minds are molded in such a manner that these readers will actually become "informed" "knowledgable" "competent" and "able" MCSEs -- which is terrific advertising for Billy G?? My answer to that question is a resounding NO! There must be another explanation for all this! 

I would submit and argue (I'm a lawyer -- we like to argue!) that there is no such "human being" as "Herb Martin." Instead it is a "bot" or that these messages are being read by thousands of the faithful in Redmond -- and they each research an answer and respond (perhaps the authors of the Resource Kits???). There simply is no other valid or reasonable argument. No one can know as much as this about NT!! It is inhuman -- and unhuman that one Human can be in possession of all of this information and be able to communicate it in such an understandable manner. Moreover, even assuming arguendo, that this Herb Martin does indeed exist as a human, how is he able to go on for such long periods of time spewing forth this information. Just as an example, it takes me over 3-4 hours to read all the mail that this Herb Martin generates in one 24 hour period. If it takes me that long to read -- it must take a tad longer to (1) research the question and (2) type it in. When does Herb Martin have time for a life?? -- like to eat, sleep, romance his bride, play ball with his kids, and keep up on the Impeachment Trial news?? No one human being can be so devoted to freely providing and unselfishly sharing his detailed knowledge as to ignore the necessities of life. Perusing the messages generated by this Herb Martin -- one would readily be convinced -- beyond a reasonable doubt -- that we humble, uninformed, mushy minded, helpless future MCSEs are his primary reason for existing in this Microsoft world. Naw, this line of argument cannot be sustained. There simply cannot be such a human being in this world of "What's in it for me"? Thus, I must revert to my original thesis -- "Herb Martin" is either a "bot" or a conglomeration of Gnomes at Redmond.

Herb,

I just passed all the MCSE tests, I did fail TCP/IP but it was not because I did not know the subject, more like I was not ready for it. I shouldn't scheduled IIS and TCP/IP back to back, but oh well. Any ways I was able to schedule it today, and had no problems passing it the second time around. 

Thanks again for all your help and encouragement.

Thank you!!!!!!

P.S. I will fax my failed test, and I will put the my mailing address so that I can get the refund. Thanks again...

 This was an awesome experience, and we have you to thank for it. Your class was just what we needed Herb, and it was due in large part to your delivery. Thank you very much Herb for your expertise, knowledge, and your southern hospitality, (those lunches and snacks were wonderful).

I'm sure Ken isn't going to share this with you, so I will - Ken got a perfect score on the TCP/IP exam - while Ken worked very hard to achieve that success, I think your class really made the difference - Ken's a pretty bright guy. Anyway, I just want to thank you one last time, and tell you my shirt size... ;-) 

Thanks again Herb,

Everyone at the facility is very impressed with ours, and your, results.

Although I don't think they are all too happy, since they teach the MCSE series for $8000 over a much longer period of time, and we tell everyone about your class, less money - shorter time.

As soon as we finish our exams we will be in touch for our shirts, by the way we both our X-large, just for preparation.

I wanted to let you know that the class in December was instrumental in enabling me to pass each of the 6 exams on my FIRST try. I followed your instructions to the letter (scheduling exams, using your material as the primary study material, and so forth). Your class provided the focus on the key items necessary for the exam, through reinforcement and understanding of the products and their operation. I was never very good at just memorizing information to pass an exam - you furthered my knowledge.

Thanks again,

Respective Mr.Herb Martin,

Thank you very much for replying my 9 TCP/IP question in such a short time. I wish, I had a instructor like you (even with 30% of your knowledge) would have satisfied me.

I have made a special mail folder called "Herb Martin". Thank you very much giving you time in precise & concise explanation.

It is not merely a boot camp, there is quite a bit of product knowledge taught in the courseroom as well as some helpful test taking tips, tricks, and hints.

If you sign up, please tell Herb I sent ya!

Thank you for a fantastic week! I have now passed all 6 tests, and it went great! Your concepts work fine for me!

Kind Regards

Thanks very much for an incredible learning experience...
