Student Testimonials

"It was a course rich in content, meticulously presented and would enrich the knowledge of developing Disaster Recovery Managers, sharpen the skills of Business Continuity Plan developers and really open the eyes of would-be believers still sitting on the fence! In this field we strive to make contingency plans to cover most eventualities but situations like those in New Orleans , post-Huricane Katrina, not only boggles the mind but underscores the need for excellent foresight in this field. Sentryx provides the tools to do so." - Roslyn B., M.D, Assisstant Director, Burmuda Hospital.

"As Information Technology Officer, and Business Continuity Coordinator for Julius Baer Bank & Trust (Cayman), I found the information provided in the classroom to be instructional, invaluable and well presented. With this new understanding of the complete business recovery process and the methodology behind it, I am now able to lead teams to redevelop our BCP and provide my organization with a state-of-the-art business continuity plan and program. Many thanks to the Sentryx Team!" - L. S., Julius Baer Bank & Trust Company Limited .

"I've worked in Business Continuity nine years and this is the first course I've taken that contains a methodology that is clear and concise.

"I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on a "job well done" on the Business Resilience Training which you conducted onsite in February, 2006 at North Carolina State University.

I found your class well-rounded and quite informative. The non-traditional approach which you took in teaching the methodologies, principles and components of Business Resilience was extremely helpful. The fact that you came onsite to conduct this training helped to solidify the training even more because it afforded Sentryx the opportunity to touch and feel the environment which we as the customer functioned in, but it also gave you the opportunity to perform a high level assessment of our program. Having these onsite training advantages allowed you to tailor the training modules where needed to our environment. Once again, thanks!” - Ann H., Assistant Director North Carolina State University RMIS Disaster Recovery and Risk Management

"Sentyx's BC201 course is one of the most important training programs I have attended in my business career. The methodology was presented in a very organized and logical fashion, made understandable by the very experienced instructor. I would recommend this program to anyone wishing to learn the process of Business Continuity and Resilience, especially those whose primary function is to conduct such a program. Thank you also for the well written manual and text book.” - Iris H., Director, New York University

"I truly walked away from your course with a lot more knowledge about Business Continuity than I could have gained by just reading books. I have some experience in disaster recovery but never thought there was so much more to learn. I am back at work utilizing everything you have taught and now I feel much more confident to do a Continuity pitch to my senior management. Thanks for a great experience.” - Marlyne W. GE

"This is one of the best courses I have taken in my 30+ years in Information Technology. The course was very organized and informative. The instructor did an outstanding job explaining the material and keeping the class interested with student participation and real-life experiences. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who would like quality Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery training." - Ben B., ADP Inc.

"Going into this course I believed to be going through the motions. But I was quickly surprised the diverse group of people attending from around the country and Europe and Central America . The step process we followed during the duration of the course was familiar to the steps I followed when I worked with users from several different areas around my company. But the level of detail we discussed and the importance we gave to the risk assessment and business impact made me re-think what I did and what I need to do for my company's plan. I plan to become a part of the user group get help me come up with new and different ideas to make our plans better. I also plan to become part of a dialog group to keep in sync. with new ideas & concepts.

I recommend this program to all persons involved in Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity and Crisis Management, the course will add volumes to the knowledge you have already acquired." - Peter B., Disaster Recovery / BCP Coordinator, CYTEC Industries Inc.

"I found the course to be extremely thorough. I left the course with a full understanding of the methodology behind the Business Continuity Life Cycle. We will be using the knowledge gained from this course as we restructure our own program. This course is a valuable tool to any professional within the BCP community." - Elizabeth V., MSSASS

"The course exceeded my expectations. I feel much more confident now about making the decisions that lay in front of me than I did prior to taking the course"- CHS III, CEH, CBRP, Director - Information Security, Access Group Inc.

"Sentryx provided a comprehensive course on the key aspects of business continuity planning. Of particular note is their management planning approach to develop comprehensive continuity plans. This course is highly recommended for any individuals needing to lead their organization in business continuity readiness." - Glenn H., BC Consultant

"Sentryx's Business Continuity Planning Methodology really makes a distinction between the BCP Process and BCP Management. After taking the class, I realized I was focusing totally on process, the BIA, Business Units Plans, etc., and neglecting the management aspect of the program. Thanks Akhtar for broadening my perspective." - Betsy H., California Franchise Tax Board

"I enjoyed the course very much. The structure of the material presented made for a clear understanding of the overall business continuity process. The pace of the class was perfect, no overload of information on any one day. It provided me with a solid foundation upon which to build processes and plans for my company. I will be scheduling my employees for future offerings of this class. The class also provided a forum for discussion with peers from other companies." - Greg B.

"As our Agency's business practices have matured and the processes that support them become more dependent on IT technology, we were becoming unbalanced in the area of plan development. This class is a fresh review of best practices and methodology that lends itself to a better understanding of business continuity management, and its presentation provides a sure path in which a complete business continuity program is developed. The class format provided for a sharing of insights and ideas that I found valuable for continued professional growth in this industry. Many thanks." - Joseph. T, MBCI, COOP / Disaster Recovery, Peace Corps.

"Just a quick note to thank you for the fantastic training session last week in San Francisco! The course covered exactly what I was hoping it would, and I only wish I had taken it sooner." - Barbara D, MBA, ARM, CBRP, Risk Manager, TAP Pharmaceutical.

"This course was one of the most valuable and pertinent that I have taken in my 35 years of service" - Larry M., Facilities Director, CalSTRS.

"I just wanted to send you a thank you for the CBRM Seminar instruction. When I returned to work on Tuesday, I passed along to my boss and coworkers that the course and instructor were excellent. One of my peers even said, "Wow, you NEVER say that about a training course." Having a background in training, I'm a pretty tough judge when it comes to external training seminars. The course surpassed my expectations." - Lesley S., CBRP Operational Risk/Compliance, M&T Bank

"I thought this was an exceptional business continuity course in the way it was presented. The methodology approach made it very easy to understand and have clarity on how to proceed to the next stage(s), as well as the interdependencies of the stages. I feel more empowered to be a focal point within my company regarding Business Resiliency. I was also very appreciative of the opportunity to receive a certification for this course which will add more validity to my professional development along this career path. The instructor was well versed in his field and very accommodating to the class attendees." - William W., CBRP, Project Manager - Disaster Recovery, First American Corporation.

"I admit I was afraid this course was just like many others courses I took over the years. Sentryx proved me wrong. It has an impressive amount of information. The methodology approach is great. There are plenty of tools out there, but it´s when you know the ´why´, ´how´ and ´when´ when everything makes sense. After taking this course I feel more confident to be able to help develop a BC Plan for my company, which I feel is a big challenge and other courses not teaching the methodology just wouldn´t work for us." - Martin C., CBRP, Arch., Soc. Argentina de Inversiones Agropecuarias S.A.
