"RFID Essentials is outstanding! It is rare that a self-paced course can prepare an individual to address both the business and technical considerations of RFID technology in such an interactive an effective manner."
-David McCarty, Brand Protection Specialist, All-Pak "This course was very easy to follow because the knowledge was well presented and real-life examples were used. All the modules included activities and demonstrations, which I thought were very helpful because I am a visual learner. I wish I'd taken this course before I started on our RFID project, instead of in the middle. It would have given me a base of knowledge (a visual base, which is important in my case) that would have enabled me to be more productive from the start. Instead, I had to learn about RFID from our systems team, which uses very technical terms." -D.M., Healthcare Industry Vender "RFID Essentials is a comprehensive training tool that includes virtual, hands-on demonstrations and step-by-step testing to ensure comprehension. Its lively and imaginative format is highly motivational."
