Practice Assignment #9 – Insert a Testimonial Module in a new Row Below

Hi Raghu,

By far one of the best training programs I have witnessed till now. The technical proficiency was an expected outcome, but the differentiators were unique training approach, influencing the change in the mindsets towards PROGRESS as a technology and building a solid base for PROGRESS & good programming practices. Customer expressing their surprise on the quality of output from the participants, meager 4 weeks of training, by itself is the measure of the success of the Program. We were glad to see 8 out of the 9 resources getting deployed on the project and contributing actively.

Thanks to your honest effort and unique approach of building competencies and not just doing a technology training.
