Testimonials
Published on our testimonials page, quoted as written.
The instructors are extremely knowledgeable of the subject matter and presentation, workbook, and workmanship sample materials were first class.
Blackfox has a staff of excellent instructors who have real manufacturing experience to augment the information that is given during the certification course.
Their knowledge of the J-STD-001 compliance and interpretation was a key factor for our attaining our goals.
The greatest attribute of the certification program is the real-time instructor interaction, which provides identification and, most importantly, resolution of every area of misunderstanding for each trainee individually.
Once you are trained you are not forgotten. I have called them on many occasions to have questions answered or to clarify the meaning of an IPC term.
Blackfox’s reputation and representation goes beyond good customer service. My experience has been one which other vendors must measure up to.
