Astadia instructors compete and win spots in salesforce.com's Five Star Instructor Club
Astadia, the largest pure-play Cloud Computing integrator, is proud to announce Astadia has received salesforce.com’s Instructor of the Quarter award. Dan Goldston, Education Services Manager, took home this top honor on behalf of Astadia. Additionally, Wendy Braid and John Creedon, both consultants and authorized trainers for Astadia, have been acknowledged as Five Star Instructor Club winners.
Instructor of the Quarter is awarded to one instructor selected from the elite salesforce.com’s Five Star Instructor Club. The award is based on student satisfaction and active participation in improving salesforce.com curriculum, which enhances the overall student experience. A Five Star Instructor drives customer satisfaction for salesforce.com power users and administrators.
“I have to say, my experience with Dan was a real power driver for jumping full force into salesforce.com administration,” says Mauricio Ramos, CRM Administrator for Sabre Hospitality Solutions, who traveled from Montevideo, Uruguay to work with Dan. “He was very helpful and thorough in his explanations. Dan put great effort into the student experience, providing examples of real life uses and practical advice for when we would have to sit in front of the application and have to put everything learned into action.”
“I was a little overwhelmed that I was responsible for creating and maintaining salesforce.com for my company, but Dan really set me up for success. Step by step, he gave basic, practical information and took the time to answer all of my questions. Each day was focused, but fun. I would attend his training again any day!” says Anna Lewis, Program Coordinator for Just Say YES - Youth Equipped to Succeed.
This program was started to encourage instructors - internally, partners, and contractors - to participate in the training and certification community by sharing expertise and knowledge with their fellow instructors and contributing to curriculum development. The program recognizes instructors who go above and beyond when it comes to customer satisfaction.
Dan, Wendy, and John teach all levels of salesforce.com administrator certification classes for students enrolled in Astadia’s Authorized Training Center classes held in Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Atlanta, Reston/northern Virginia, Baltimore, and Washington, DC.
