“I have been working with John Stengel of Stengel Consulting for a few years and aside from being an excellent trainer, he is also top notch in the network security field. John has a very deep knowledge that can get one out of any jam, and a way of not only helping one to solve a problem but teaching you at the same time. John wants the best for your company, this is demonstrated by his drive to make sure that things not only work, but they work the way they were designed and follow industry standards." Marcus R. - Newton, NC

 

“To make this brief and to the point, John is as good as it gets. Extremely technical, smart solutions, and high character. Definitely someone I plan to continue doing business with long term.”  Scott B. - Tampa, FL

 

“John is an excellent instructor, very knowledgeable and I will attend future classes as needed through his organization. The class was very structured, providing the students with enough knowledge to thoroughly understand each topic. In addition, John added additional security measures that were outside of the scope of the training which was a bonus in and of itself. I would highly recommend John's organization to anyone seeking Watchguard training.” Denise L. Pennsylvania

 

“This was an excellent course.  I learned quite a bit about the WatchGuard's & all of this info will prove very useful in my job.”  Jeremy D. Johnsonbury, PA
