TestOut Continuing Education is a subsidiary of TestOut Corporation, which means that all of us here work for a pretty incredible company.

None of that goes together better than peanut butter and chocolate.

Hey, everybody! Did you hear the one about the guy (or gal) who was working for a living, not getting all of her (or his) needs and wants met, and used TestOut CE training to successfully switch to a career in technology that made all of the his/her wildest dreams come true? Yeah, neither did we — because NOBODY TOLD US. We're not omniscient, and there are a lot of other things on our collective plate, after all.
