"The JAM staff are extremely knowledgeable, easy going, and a joy to work with. They fine tuned the course to meet the needs and expectations of each of the participants. This presents an excellent platform for learning and experiencing the various modes of current technology, equipment, and background in basic presentation techniques. I would highly recommend any future offerings."
