“I still say that the 4-Day ECTI seminar is the best “one-stop-shop” for compliance training!!! It’s great for the rookies out there (brand new to the field), and also for folks such as me, who have been in the field for a while. I always learn something new when I come. I also like the opportunity to discuss current issues at my job. His insights are always valuable!! I love that you guys have included an e-manual now. That will be a BIG help for me!!! When an issue arises, I routinely go to the hard copy manual, and start thumbing through it. Now, with the e-manual, I can do a quick .pdf search.”

Marc and Scott are both excellent, and their experience in industry makes the course material more accessible and easy to understand. I highly recommend Marc, Scott and ECTI for coursework, both for new and seasoned practitioners.”
