What our Students are Achieving

Just finished Cloud+ with instructor Timothy F, he was very professional, knowledgeable, laid back and very informative. Class went smoothly and he made the information very retainable. 10/10. I don't know what he gets paid, but he needs a raise!!!

Great people who work here. As a veteran, I was respected and encouraged to keep going and help was always there. They gave me a good understanding about the IT world and what I would be stepping into in the near future. Grateful for all the lessons so far and continue to look forward to our next classes together!

Great Horizons is an amazing place to be and learn. The instructors are great! They take their time and make sure everyone understands the material. You will not go without anything you need or want to get out the courses. It's all about what you put into it but they will give you every resource and opportunity to succeed in whatever route you decide to go!

Can't say enough about the experience at great horizon; achieving certification and going for interviews to say the least. This is a much better alternative than any other type of school. An experience with Great Horizons can be life-changing and I would recommend to anyone who's ready for success.

I really enjoy the classes at great horizon, Timothy Foor its, with no doubt in my mind, the best teacher I've ever had, and the teacher with the most knowledge on the matter I've had as well, the classes are very interactive, and always explain in ways that are easy to understand even for a person with no previous IT Knowledge, can't wait to learn more!

Great facility, very nice and helpful staff. It was easier to check out the courses and choose the one I need, compared to another training provider. The instructor was knowledgeable, passionate and possess great communication skills. Highly recommended!
