Hello Andrew:

At first, thanks for the vote of confidence!    It was completely unexpected 
and I appreciate it!    Sorry for the late response of appreciation.

I haven't advertised our service offerings on TAUG but I represent myself as an 
individual here on the list.   Almost ALL our clients, and specially those 
clients who render training from us are not on the TAUG list.   I've been 
pretty low profile on most of our business activities and have shared with only 
a selected few on the list, and/or have responded to requests off list.

But now that the cat is out of the bag -- and for those who are interested:   
yes, we offer extensive training courses for the technical staff and the 
management staff.   We have a number of course offerings, but to keep on topic 
here, yes, we offer extensive hands on course on entry-to-intermediate level 
Asterisk deployment and administration.  Advanced Asterisk administration 
involves SIP analysis and debugging, for which we do not have a course offering 
yet.    With one of our distant trainee's, we offered remote training course 
via teleconference, video conference and remote SSH -- which was a great 
success.

** If the trainee candidate has novice to intermediate sys admin skills on 
Linux or Windows Server technologies, we guarantee the trainee/students will 
have sufficient knowledge in Asterisk, that would allow him/her to install, 
create extensions, peer with servers ....  and so on...  with little or no 
difficulty. **    We will soon introduce a course offering which exclusively 
trains consultants and business owners to deploy their own call-shop/calling 
card service platform.

Though we touch on GUIs slightly, emphasis is on the CORE of Asterisk, and we 
ensure the trainee/student understands Asterisk at its core.   Anyone can 
install an ISO image of a GUI and get it to work, but the CORE of Asterisk is 
what makes it fun, flexible, powerful and a super telecom tool/product to 
integrate with existing applications (web based or legacy).

As per our training background, we've been offering training to corporate 
clients for the past 10+ years, and as an individual, I've been training and 
teaching for 15+ years.   Each and EVERY one of our students today, without 
exception holds good IT positions and have escalated within the company they 
work for in: recognition, respect and salary after having taken our courses, or 
have have moved on to other organizations for better opportunities.

Our next course offering is in April at the IT360 premises.   If you are 
interested, or know of someone who is interested, please go to:  
http://www.it360.ca/2008/asterisk.cfm  and click on "Register".   The "VoIP 
Asterisk Workshop" that I am hosting with my team is under the Asterisk 
Conference section.  The Workshop pass also includes access to all IT360°, CTCA 
and CIO-Level IT360° Seminars & Tutorials, Exhibit & Conference Keynotes, 
Feature Presentations, Exhibit Hall Admission, LPI Certifications, BOF's & CD 
of Presentation Proceedings.   The workshop will take place at the Metro 
Toronto Convention Centre. 

Cheers!
Reza.
