  We don't mind smaller class sizes, so we rarely cancel on you. Smaller classes also give us the opportunity to focus on your actual business context -- meaning we spend more time speaking to the realities of your business situation.

• We've trained several hundred professionals in SAFe, and our students have a 99% pass rate on their first exam attempt. OUTSTANDING!

• All of our courses are catered by Jason's Deli for lunch. We provide you menus for lunch, which will be delivered to our classroom for your convenience.

• Just listen to our course attendees. A large majority of our students return for another class and, when they do, they benefit from a 10% discount on each additional course offering.

• Finally, we are GREAT at this and you will have a GREAT experience with us! We offer class experiences that very few training providers take the trouble to match.
