Read the article below.

MDE conducts 23rd IT Manager Institute
This was one of our best classes even though it was a smaller class. Only 5 students in this one made it especially informal and we started having real fun the first day.
This class was either very bright or my teaching skills are getting better as all 5 students passed their ITBMC certification. It was the first time that 100% passed on their first attempt and we were really happy to see it.
IT managers from Virginia, Georgia, Texas, and Kuwait participated to make this a special class.
