[Trainer-talk] Fwd: Enroll Now for the November Certification Course!

[Bryan Schulz]

hi,

I didn't intend to make people snippy, just sayin there are probably some 
who wouldn't be listed if their state agency didn't cover the cost, myself 
included.
so how is this different than microsoft now days, i obtained master mos and 
it didn't make any difference.
