What our clients are saying
I would like to express my complete satisfaction regarding ACTAGIS and the CISSP training delivered by their two instructors. Their expertise and passion for the subject greatly enhanced the learning experience. The courses were clear, well-structured, and supported by concrete examples, enabling effective knowledge assimilation. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to prepare for the CISSP certification.
A very good preparation for the CISA. Good pedagogical approach, going to the essential. Allows you to have fruitful exchanges with specialists. Makes the preparation of the exam enjoyable and adds IT knowledge beyond the strict CISA framework.
I would like to thank ACTAGIS, and in particular Jeff and Alexandre, for the CISSP certification preparation course. An intense 5-day course, in a studious but relaxed atmosphere, which prepared me as well as possible to pass this demanding certification. Thank you again, and I look forward to taking another course with you !
To attend the CDPO training with ACTAGIS. The volume of information and the subject matter were intense given its ONLINE conduct due to the pandemic situation. In this context, Massimo made it very accessible to us given his extensive professional experience and pedagogy. I can only recommend ACTAGIS as a training partner.
The trainer led the Business Continuity Management (BCM) course very well. He covered the material at an ideal pace, ensured the active participation of all, and encouraged an interactive atmosphere in class. All these advantages helped me to pass the certification exam.
The Business Continuity Management (BCM) training with ACTAGIS provided me the needed information to increase my knowledge for my current professional context and to understand what business continuity is for, including all the connections with the real world to reach higher level of knowledge.
In a very pleasant environment, I participated to the GDPR-CDPO training delivered by ACTAGIS which I recommend. Throughout the sessions, the expert trained us with dynamism and pedagogy while sharing his field experience. During this training, I was able to submit my questions on practical cases. All these points greatly contributed grandly to the success of the certification exam.
I would like to thank Jeff for all the support that permitted me to pass the Business Continuity Management (BCM) exam. The course was challenging, with lots of useful information, and Jeff was always there supporting me (and all the other trainees) and ready to help. I enjoyed your class tremendously. I look forward to taking another class with ACTAGIS.
The Business Continuity Management (BCM) course allowed me to expand my understanding and analysis of the different themes. Beyond the course material and the academic notions necessary for the certification, Jeff does everything possible to put us in a practical context by sharing his knowledge and experience. He teaches with passion, enthusiasm and adapts to the participants so that we can benefit from his expertise.
The training provided by ACTAGIS is of a high level of quality thanks to the experience and personality of the trainer. We were not only able to prepare ourselves for the CDPO exam, but also benefit from his knowledge necessary for a successful implementation of the GDPR in our organizations
One of my concerns in every training opportunity is that it may just end up being theoretical with limited relevance to my work realities. I am glad to have taken my Business Continuity Management (BCM) course with ACTAGIS. Jeff was able to share his vast experience as the subject matter expert and explain via practical examples how to apply the principles and tools in our real work situations. This kept us engaged throughout the intense training. Even with little preparation, I passed the exam with Merit. I look forward to taking the next course with ACTAGIS.
I'm a repeat offender at Jeff's courses, having already attended CISA, CISSP and CRISC courses. Jeff is an engaging teacher and bring numerous examples from real life. Class size is limited, so there is always time for questions. I'm planning on attacking CISM next year and will certainly be knocking once again on Jeff's door. Highly recommended !
Thank you for your training. I particularly appreciated the quality of the teachers Jeff and his colleague who were able to animate this course in an attractive and instructive way by alternating the theoretical part and the practical exercises. The course material is a summary of excellent quality. I highly recommend this course.
CISSP training given by ACTAGIS trainers, is intense and very complete. During the 5 days, you get home exhausted but with knowledge you did not have when started the day. The trainers use a methodology that helps you understand the concepts and the trap questions you might get in the exam. Totally worth it.
The BCI training based on solid experience and real life examples was provided by a very professional and patient mentor, Jeff Primus. Small group of participants is a great benefit for added value discussions. The training exceeded all my expectations.
I participated to ACTAGIS Academy CISSP training. I definitely recommend this course to everyone who wants to succeed the CISSP exam. Jeff is an excellent trainer who knows how to vehicle the key messages enhanced with real life examples. Thanks Jeff for that excellent course !
I had the pleasure to attend GDPR training provided by Jeff and ACTAGIS. The course was quite challenging in terms of material that required to be absorbed and Jeff made the work engaging, whilst providing good real case examples to the participants. He also explained the technical and legal parts very clearly for those who are not in IT or who has no legal background. I would happily recommend Jeff and ACTAGIS to those looking for an excellent and detailed insight.
I came from Paris to attend the ISO 27001 LI training which was led by a trainer of rare efficiency and having a real knowledge of the concepts coupled with a solid field experience. The training was based on theoretical fundamentals which were illustrated to us in a concrete way through workshops and group exchanges. The entire group succeeded the certification exam. Thanks again to ACTAGIS for their warm welcome, the quality of the training and their professionalism.
Having participated to the ISO 27001 LA training led by Jeff Primus, I was able to appreciate his value as a trainer both in terms of his technical skills and his extensive experience in auditing . Jeff is an experienced professional who communicates his knowledge with enthusiasm. This allowed me to succeed the certification exam. I would like to recommend ACTAGIS for the quality of their services and the perfect organization of this training.
Jeff's primary goal is not only to help you digest the material, but arrive at the examination with the right tools and the right confidence level so to maximize your chances to pass with flying colors. I recommend Jeff wholeheartedly and without reservations. Jeff is one of those rare sure bets!
The way how we went through Business Continuity (BC) Program from policy to validation via practical examples was inspiring. Jeff’s enthusiastic and knowledgeable approach to BC area and ability to promote discussions really expanded understanding of this topic. Now I think that I have good tools to practice. Thank you Jeff!
Very intense and worthwhile training. The trainer based his teaching on an excellent knowledge of the GDPR regulation, but also on his hands-on experiences enabling real-life and concrete cases. I recommend this training to anyone dealing with the protection of the personal data within his company.
Attending the GDPR - Certified Data Protection Officer – training provided by ACTAGIS was at the same time a challenge and a pleasure. The content was extremely interesting and provided by a highly skilled trainer. The setup of the classroom, the small group and the given material contributed to make it successful.
I thank ACTAGIS, and especially Jeff Primus, for organizing the GDPR - Certified Data Protection Officer –training, which is very useful to me in the context of my professional activities and which I strongly recommend. Organizing trainings for a limited number of participants enables to take full advantage of the courses and to exchange interesting information more easily between professionals active in that domain.
Jeff Primus provided a great CISA training. His motivation, engagement and professionalism made the training really interesting and easy to understand. I enjoyed taking part in this training and would like to thank ACTAGIS for helping me to pass the CISA exam.
I often find that you learn more from the experience of people in the room than anything in the training material and this was definitely the case at ACTAGIS. Jeff has a wealth of experience and he did an excellent job of adapting his delivery the training to the needs of the class.
The course was highly interesting. The tools for managing a Business Continuity (BC) Program were taught in a very descriptive and understandable way. I can recommend this course to everybody having a key position in a BC Program.
Thank you for the great course. I did really enjoy it and got a lot of new insights and a much better understanding about what matters in a Business Continuity Management System.
I had a great pleasure participating to the ISO 9001 Lead Implenter training provided by Jeff Primus. His engagement, professionalism, motivation and technical expertise gave me full satisfaction. Eeased by his ability of communication, I had no difficulties to assimilate the content of the course. Without any hesitation, I gladly recommend ACTAGIS to everyone who needs guidance for SMQ implementation projects.
I thank ACTAGIS' Business Continuity Management (BCM) trainer for his professionalism and his motivation during this course which allowed me to obtain the BC certification. I recommend this training to anyone who wishes to strengthen and consolidate the topic of BCM.
The Business Continuity Management (BCM) course, offered by ACTAGIS, enabled me to consolidate and reinforce my knowledge in the domain. A successful training that will help me to bring BCM practices in my company to a higher professional level.
At our Business Continuity Management (BCM) certification training, the trainer managed not only to cover perfectly the specific, certification-related topics but he also opened windows and connections to other standardization bodies. It was an excellent week enriching our knowledge broadly. Thank you!
I thank the consultant for this ISO 27001 training. His pedagogy, technical expertise and long experience in the field make the difference and bring real added value. Course materials are of high quality and the exchanges throughout this training allowed me to assimilate the material and go beyond theory
