Working Connections North Class of 2014
Summer Working Connections North was held at the campus of Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton, Wisconsin. Over the week, attendees enjoyed the hospitality and facilities, while getting their hands dirty in one of the three track topics that were offered: Intro to Digital Forensics, Ethical Hacking and NDG NetLab+ Setup and Operation. In addition to the tracks, guests enjoyed ample networking opportunities provided over breakfast and lunch each day. It was a great week and we would like to thank everyone who attended, and especially everyone at FVTC who helped make it happen!!
Here are just a few of the great things attendees had to say about this event!
“The instructor was excellent. The staff was great. Discussions with other instructors were very helpful”
“Comfortable environment with good instructor,along with technical explanation inclusive of hands-on.”
“Fantastic experience! I only wish I had the time and means to attend multiple Working Connections in summer as well as winter.”
“I would highly recommend the WC training to other instructors.”
“This was one of the best teachers’ classes I took. The topic was interesting and Mike Masino was very knowledgeable I have always wanted to learn more about how hackers do their dirty work, now I know or at least I know where to go to get more information. I can know provide more in-depth labs on these topics in my security classes. Thank you.”
“It was a fantastic professional development experience. Curt Chambers was a fantastic instructor. Thank you for this opportunity!”
“Craig had excellent enthusiasm for the course content, and taught it very well. The best component is that I am now confidant that I am able to acquire a dead image of most hard drives and perform forensic analysis on those drives.”
