This is very enlightening! I consider myself knowledgeable on incident management but this training is extremely helpful. Especially in situations when there are outages and we need to take a lead in managing them. I will take what I learned and apply it to my work."   - Incident Commander training participant 
 I have been in the IT world for 30 years. Doing incident recovery for over 21 years. Was not sure what to expect going into the course. In short, it was excellent. I was able to take some of the tips and tricks and literally immediately use them on a major incident. Those listening to the bridge noticed a change in the control and flow of the bridge. My executive management team were very pleased.  - David Tutko, Incident Commander Team Lead
If anyone wants training, especially Blackrock training I would highly recommend it. The instructors are knowledgeable and make the experience easy to understand and [it] helps you gain a greater comprehension of what you are supposed to do with Incident Commander roles.   - Justin Corriveau, Charter
