�I am writing regarding Tom Cross and the online training and NVBE certification for VoIP. By far this is the best program in place, as Tom is one of the most recognized trainers in the United States for VoIP. It might be worth to add this course to your sign-up package for agents around the country not only as a profit center but something that you could co-brand and have a "leg-up" on your competition.�

�The NVBE course is more than a superb primer on VoIP technology; it�s an indepth business plan for a VoIP business partner. In addition, the VoIP diagnostic and troubleshooting guide is the most thorough approach to VoIP QoS available. I need information that informs but does not overwhelm. Information that guides but not drives you away. The NVBE provides insights and actionable information that has helped me get the technology we need sooner but saved me a considerable amount in understanding what we didn't need. The NVBE course is a valuable tool, which provides much needed information in a readily understandable format.�
