I was intimidated being the only student taking the course but the instructor was able to tailor the lessons to meet my expectations and needs. He provided real-life scenarios that gave great value to the class.
Dan was very informative and willing to share his personal experiences related to the course material.
The instructor was well-prepared and kept the class moving with just a few students. He was able to engage us to talk about our experiences as auditors. In addition, he helped us set up readability on MS word, which I will be using.
The instructor made the course relevant and exciting!
I enjoyed the class and meeting students from different organizations in the group breakout sessions. Mr. Brown is an excellent instructor. He explained the learning outcomes and we were able to achieve them. His auditing background helped students who had questions on some of the course materials, and he kept the class engaged.
Great class and instructor. Mr. Brown kept the class engaged and answered questions promptly. The class provided useful information to perform my work.

Alvin made the class fun and enjoyable. He was highly knowledgeable and entertaining.
Dr. Mattocks was an amazing instructor. He made sure the class understood the material and required full participation. He also made sure all students' voices were heard and considered valuable to the conversation. I appreciated the life lessons he incorporated as well.

I now feel better equipped to define objectives, develop impactful findings and recommendations, and write comprehensive reports.
I enjoyed the course and was able to learn a lot from an instructor who has great experience in government auditing! The course content really equipped me with the basics in government auditing and gave me a better understanding of the GAGAS yellow book and internal controls in the green book.
This was a great training class. The materials were to the point without useless filler and the instructor was excellent. Stephen gave many great examples of audits he had done throughout his career which helped show how these principles work in practice.
I highly recommend The Governmental Audit: From Planning to Reporting for anyone starting out as an auditor or evaluator. The content was well put together and the course is an invaluable guide.
Very detailed and provided a lot of insight on methods of auditing and seeing the broader picture.
This was the class of the certification program that I am in and I am positive that I will be able to preform my job duties better.
Michelle Cummings was a great instructor. She made the class easy to follow, fun, and engaging. The content of the class was perfect for real-world scenarios. I liked the various exercises we had.

It was a great experience to gain the tools and then be able to immediately apply followed by feedback.
I learned a lot in this class, which will help me at my job as an Auditor.
The instructor was a very good facilitator for the class, and I would definitely take a class with her again. The modules were broken up very well. It was overall very beneficial, and I look forward to applying what I learned to real scenarios.
The instructor is very knowledgeable and very passionate.
This course excellently laid out the groundwork for data collection methods. The instructor is friendly and knowledgeable. She invites dialogue and has been able to answer every question I have. This has been an overwhelming positive experience. To the extent possible, the teacher tailored the class to my needs, I always felt supported and encouraged. This course was originally scheduled for October, but due to the shutdown, I kept being moved to the next session. The school was very gracious about it, and I cannot articulate my appreciation.
This course was clear, practical, and very well put together. The instructor used helpful case examples and tied them directly to the Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS), making the lessons more effective. As a fairly new auditor, it strengthened my working knowledge for performance audits and gave me confidence to apply the standards in my audit work.
The class content was very useful and expanded this auditor's understanding of assessing computer-processed data. The instructor was very knowledgeable about the class topic (assessing the reliability of computer-processed data) and was also enthusiastic about the topic. Despite the small class, he kept us very engaged in the topic and provided examples from his own work to further emphasize the class materials.
Very thorough. The content was applicable and useful.
The instructor kept the students engaged through various training exercises. The breakout teams were good too.
Glad I took the course, it was useful. The instructor was very engaging and informative.
Great experience to explore other elements of a finding and hear from others on their different audit experiences pertaining to their audit areas of work. There is never enough to learn about audit, for processes and policies are ever-changing. When it comes to auditing on any level, you will always have to remain consistent to get to the real root cause of any condition, identify the impact, and offer an effective resolution. Right then, forward as always!

The instructor was very knowledgeable and provided a good mix of academic content with professional stories/experiences for the different topics.
The instructor was great. He presented the information in a way that all students could understand. During the course, there were a few questions asked for clarification. He provided real-life examples that students could relate to. He also adjusted terminology so students could understand the information (ie, Charge Paragraph to Finding Paragraph). I would like to commend our instructor on his teaching method and would encourage others to take this course.
