    ...the right way!
    Corporate Advocacy Program

They offer training, certification, and job placement assistance. Let’s break it down here:

Training: For the top-shelf training for MCSE Certification, they have one instructor. Not two, only one. Very knowledgeable instructor and good at what he does. However, out of the entire class, make sure that you are one of the two or three students in the class he deems as worthy lest he be embarrassingly rude to you, even during class. I witnessed otherwise very sharp students belittled during class and the ‘why’ is a mystery to me.

Gripe: I am paying a LOT of money for this training to learn, not to be arbitrarily judged. Also: For working adults it is difficult to attend with 100% regularity. There is little to no effort or assistance to get you caught up when you miss a class. This will make the instructor turn on you.

Certifications: Be sure that you understand that you pay for the certification in addition to tuition. I, as well as some other students in my class thought that it was included in tuition.

Job Placement Assistance: With a handful of job opportunities forwarded to me, most of which were internships, part time, and day gigs, it was a far cry from the expectation I had from the discussion when signing up for this course. Only a few real employment opportunities were passed my way, and no further placement effort beyond that.

Also, there is an interesting and, in my opinion, a conflict of interest relationship that the instructor has with Workforce Alliance. If you are not one of the ‘chosen few’, the question has to arise then “does this mean I am not employable?” Also, you will find out early in class about the relationship he has with the courthouse of PBC and his friendship with many of the judges.

Though the rest of the staff is very helpful and pleasant, it makes it difficult to be unhappy with them. I think they are really over a barrel by choosing a bad apple for a one-only instructor.

Great source of information

AUTHOR: Nonesuch - (USA)

Just a quick thought to this complaint; Go and get the education and the certs. If you put in the effort this is a good place to go. Good helpful staff that will help where they can. It's a tough economy right now and effort is required on your part for placement. Don't wait for others to place you. I attended a couple of years ago and my biggest complaint is getting email responses from instructors. Otherwise I think it is a viable choice.

PC Professor is pure hands on and requires commitment for the time of the classes. 


Because the course is progressive (the next level depends on the previous level), whenever someone misses one class, we all cannot afford to go back to the previous steps.


Everytime I missed classes, I spoke to the instructor or a colegue to get the labs and pages that I missed so I could catch up with them.


In regards to certification, I did my homework and knew I had to pay for each exam I took; in regards to job opportunities, it is possible that employers are hiring someone better qualified, or your resume is not good... I personally have been working for the same IT firm in WPB for over one year, thanks to PC professor's indication.






I've been a student of PC Professor WPB since 2009.  With them I took A+, MCSE, MCITP and CCNA, and I recommend to anyone who needs to prep for these certs.
