Chris was a very thorough trainer!

Chris was such a comprehensive trainer. Apart from giving the essentials of what to take and learn from the class, he also provides tips and practical guides when taking the test, so that it will be less confusing and easier to navigate the test questions. Because of that, I would say I passed the test in one take because of his golden nuggets of wisdom. Thank you, Chris!

The virtual class was very convenient. Then engagement was just enough. The instructor was very knowledgeable, accommodating and engaging with the students; ensuring that every question was answered in real time. I really enjoyed how it was instructor/video taught via virtual training. Well done OMNEAN! Thank you!

Taking this quiz was made simple and easy with the help of Chris Garcia! His straightforward and clear communication style definitely helps in the process of retaining information. I believe that this is also very simple if you are a decent human being.

Chris was such a wonderful teacher! He definitely loves his job and the work he has done for his community and you can definitely tell he is always happy to teach and help others understand. He goes into depth very frequently while also keeping the class on track and on time! I would love to get another class with him just so I can get to learn more through his experiences and concise teaching. Absolutely wonderful and I passed, so we know that the information was taught properly!
