Ever Wonder if a Week-Long Boot Camp was Worth the Investment: Part I
We recently received the following summary of the experience one of the participants had at our Boot Camp and wanted to share it with the rest of the world….
My ARGUS Boot Camp Experience (Part 1)
My week-long ARGUS Boot Camp concluded yesterday and I can’t believe how far I’ve come. There were major concerns the class wasn’t going to happen due to Snowmageddon 2011, which hit Sunday night. I was impressed how Todd quickly reached out to me (and apparently all of the other participants) to coordinate a start day/time that allowed for everyone to safely get to the class. My first observation upon arrival was the small class size, five people plus the instructors (Kristin and Todd). This seemed to be an intentional decision to ensure that everyone felt involved and received the attention they needed. It was hosted at the ACG training facility in Midtown, Atlanta. Every student had a workstation which included a collection of ACG custom training materials. Kristin was the lead instructor day one was and she was awesome. She knew ARGUS inside and out but her teaching approach focused less on the technical aspects of the program and more on its practical use. Her ability to take complex modeling approaches and break them down to easy to understand steps helped make the course a success.
