Testimonials

Hi Ven,

I would just like to thank you for all your help with Network+. Not only were you professional with your teachings, but you were also very knowledgeable. You helped me understand the concept of Networks through clear and concise explanations. 3 sundays is all I needed with you to gain my qualifications as a Networking professional and attained this with perfect scores!!! No doubt I'm looking forward to doing my MCSE with you and sharing my new found knowledge with my colleagues.

Once again thank you Ven and thank you to ICOM. You guys have been the best!!!

Kind regards,
Allen Sarol (Network+)

First of all, please accept my great appreciation for the assistance that iCOM has provided me in becoming technically inclined. With the information and knowledge gained from your institution, I have now feeling of confidence in joining with technical discussions or issues inside or outside work. This is of course not possible without the expertise, knowledge, vast experience and professionalism of both Abu Farooqi and Ven.

Please extend my sincere gratitude to both Abu and Ven.
More Power to iCOM!!!

I
was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to undertake the Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) course with Mr. Abu as my instructor. Abu is what one would consider a "Check Point King" - his knowledge, expertise and prowess as an instructor who truly goes the 'extra mile' to ensure his students understand the principles concerned made my learning experience overall absolutely rewarding and satisfying. Abu's ability to simplify certain concepts that appeared to be difficult into an understandable format along with his extensive use and referral to real-life applications and scenarios made this hands-on, perfectly blended combination of theory and practical an excellent return on investment. Most recognisable was Abu's enthusiasm and dedication to answering queries and sharing 'the tricks of the trade' and not simply put, a 'paper-certified instructor' who'd solely read directly from the manual so to speak.

Overall, I can recommend ICOM as an affordable yet dependable, worthwhile and reliable training institution. ICOM's huge range of courses coupled with friendly, patient and easy-going, efficient instructors who've had many years of industry experience and practical exposure ensures all students receive not only value for money but knowledge and insight beyond that of simply reading a related text-book.

A big Thank You to Ms. Neda Morris for all of her assistance and support! Neda's easy-going nature and ambition to truly help ICOM students achieve their goals and milestones through tailored solutions has secured my loyalty and desire to pursue further training at ICOM in the future.

Having recently sat the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) course at the ICOM training institution, I was absolutely thrilled by the instructor Grant's knowledge and lengthy real-life, practical experience to which he replicated and applied to the classroom environment. Grant basically made study of the CCNA course fun, interesting and understandable. In saying so, I can honestly speak on behalf of myself and the other students when I say we thoroughly enjoyed this much sought-after technical certification due to Grant leading by example, expertise and as a mentor readily eager and motivated to assist with anything difficult and therefore, demonstrate the inner-workings of the Cisco machine to truly appreciate its power and dominance in the networking market.

I Thank Grant for his ability to teach effectively as a result of his awesome, well-rounded experience and high level of achievement within the Cisco arena and I'd like to Thank ICOM, in particular Neda Morris, for the provision of well-equipped resources, customer service and dedicated staff eager to ensure that we, the ICOM students and our respective needs and objectives were met to a 110%+ standard and quality. In my words, "quality education at a competitive price!"

ICOM, I shall definitely be returning to you for further study needs in the future.

I have attended various training programs and from my personal experience, unlike its competitors, ICOM offers best value training packages.

It is conveniently located in the Sydney CBD and offers classes on evenings and weekends to accommodate various lifestyles and demands.

ICOM's classrooms are equipped with state of the art facilities and the courses are delivered by highly competent & qualified trainers. Training materials provided are practical, easy to follow and very useful.

I would definitely come back to ICOM for further training in the future.

I found the ICOM training very helpful in my current role. The standard of teaching was high and I would certainly recommend an ICOM course to my colleagues.

Just thought I'd let you know I passed the Windows Server 2003 exam 70-290 first try after completing the 2274 & 2275 courses at ICOM.

This is the first server related certification I have attained, and the first time I have done training at ICOM. The classroom setup was really good - the live Windows Server 2003 environment was instrumental in giving me hands on experience with configuring the OS and Active Directory, as well as allowing me to become familiar with the new interface. The trainer (Sid) was also really good - his real world administration experience was great to draw upon, especially with regard to little Microsoft quirks that aren't covered by any textbook. He was also realistic about what was needed to pass the exam, telling us from day one that the course material alone would not be sufficient. But with a little more than 6 months Windows 2000 Server admin experience and studying the supplied textbook and the Windows Server 2003 help files in my own time, I was able to nail the exam on my first attempt.

So thanks for providing a great service at such a great price - even though my company is paying for the training, I'd be feeling extremely ripped off if I had gone with one of the other places that were offering the same course at 3 times the price!

I have completed my MSCE/MCDBA in May 2003, I would like to pass on my thoughts about these courses. MSCE/MCDBA is a great achievement to gain in IT for becoming support/network and SQL administrator. I have been studying for 2 years on my own and I found it very hard. So I decided to do both courses in ICOM to make sure I’m going on the right track and to complete my MCSE/MCDBA quickly. The courses in ICOM covers everything you need to know about networking and SQL. I was a little bit disappointed that I had not seen any women doing these courses. >From my point of view, as a women I recommend women who are interested in IT/support network and SQL administrator to apply for these courses. The reason why is that MSCE/MCDBA is the right choice to become eligible for Network/SQL administrator. However, MSCE/MCDBA involves commitment to attend classes after work at night time and also do self study on the weekend to prepare you to do the exams and become Certified in Microsoft. In conclusion, if I can do it with two children and a full time job then you can do it. My next course is going to be CCNA. Please remember one thing that “if you have the will you have the way” Good Luck everyone.

" Having worked in the IT industry for over 10 years I have come to understand that expert training coupled with self study and on the job practical experience is the best method for success. To that end I would recommend training with ICOM they helped me achieve my goals."

I got back today at work and started applying what I have learned in Microsoft Access course the database previously designed. Karen was so helpful. She taught me a few things that is relevant to my work and not covered in the training book. It is working and I am thrilled. Now that I have done the course, I learned to do a lot of things which took me ages to fiddle.

On the three courses I attended, the instructors had an intimate knowledge of their subject. Moreover, they did not let you slip behind if you had difficulty comprehending a course segment. I was also grateful for post-course advice from one of the instructors in regard to a technical problem I had.

The educational experience IKCOM provide differs considerably from other training organizations. Instead of concentrating on items like decor, posh lunches, etc, they concentrate on making sure you get what you pay for, that is, to learn. They use innovative methods by creating real life scenarios and you learn by dealing with the problems you encounter in those situations.

Thank you IKCOM !

George Briansky

"I have done several courses with ICOM Training, starting from A+, than MCP and CIW. I wanted to have more time between the courses, so I could study the materials given and sit for the exams. My needs were accommodated and I was given a choice of dates and schedules. Although intensive, the courses were very "hands-on" and practical and the trainers were always accessible via email or mobile for any questions. I loved the time spent studying matters that interested me, the classes were quite stimulating and challenging. My favorite course was CIW because of my passion for Internet and Internet Marketing. I feel equipped to start my own Internet Marketing Business and I hope to do so in the near future.
Whenever I felt the need to discuss my study plans and schedules, Neda Morris was there to help with advice and later, when I finished the courses with a reference and a contact number of a potential employer. When I started looking for work, I landed 3 interviews in one week and I could tell that the courses I've done have clearly made a distinction I now work in the IT industry as a Helpdesk/Technical Support for IMI-Solutions."

"I have attended 3 training courses provided by ICOM and found them to be of a good standard. I have found their staff to be competent, patient and happy to take time to explain complex concepts to audiences of varied backgrounds. I've found them friendly, keen to assist and even to go "The Extra Mile". The materials provided have been very relevant and a "Readable" reference and I would certainly use ICOM again for similar training requirements."

"ICOM service and training is just exceptional with no substitute. I
did look around for a place in which I could do some training courses and I found ICOM to be the best place of all. In there, I found good service, good and incomparable training, being treated as a person rather than as just someone else. That was all I had to say Neda. Thanks for taking me into account. My best regards, and keep me informed of any offer or special that may arise in the near future."

Its great dealing with you guys, keep it up". Once again thank you and congratulations. "

"Icom training is a more efficient and simpler way to learn specific programs. The one on one training makes it much easier and faster to get through the programs as you are able to go at your own pace. Moreover you can either go over things you may need more help on or miss things altogether that you already have sound knowledge of. The trainers are well educated, and have vast knowledge of the areas that you need to learn".

Liz

"My Experience with ICOM was a pleasant one, the instructor was not a paper certified instructor as many in other institutions, he also had technical industry experience, I passed my exam first go! 10/10".

"Learning at ICOM has been most enjoyable, and I found the staff welcoming, that I will be returning to ICOM for all my IT training needs. The classes have been a great place to meet with others and share similar ideas. There is no question that is silly, becasue we had fun learning. For each subject, the small groups kept up close, we all end up as friends. ".

"Being the IT training coordinator for a health fund, ICOM made bookings easy and at a reasonable price. In the case with my Excel course, they were flexible with the dates of training and provided professional, comprehensive, one on one tuition. Their prices are competitive and the training staff were knowledgeable and friendly."

"It is with pleasure that I recommend ICOM for Training and Support. Over the years I have arranged our staff to travel to Sydney to have training in various software applications. I have always had positive feedback as to the Trainers, Materials and Quality of the Training. There have been a number of times I have needed ICOM's service, particularly in the support of Novell Netware and Lotus Notes. I have always found that support timely and helpful. I look forward to continuing our business relationship. Best Regards".
