User Testimonials
	Infosec Skills	Renaissance myON
Likelihood to Recommend	The onboarding process has been quite productive throughout with the best team. The customer support team is able and ever on alert when requested to assist. It has simple user interface which is not the case with other similar platforms. The training modules are easy to understand and put into practice. It meets the set threshold and complies with company principals. Incentivized Susan Davone Administrative Clerk Read full review	myON is a good program for all students in the middle grades. Using the suggested readings, several of our EL students have increased their vocabulary as well as overall reading proficiency in English by at least 1/2-1 grade equivalent within a school year. Incentivized JB Jil Borden Library Media Teacher Read full review
Pros	A combination of presentation, explanation, and reading materials to suit all learning types. An easy-to-use portal that tracks progress and allows you to go back and review. A focus on both the certification itself as well as the background information. In contrast to just "practice tests." Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Helps students gain comprehension by suggesting reading materials at their level. Because the program has the capacity to read to the students, they get a to hear a good role model which helps develop fluency and accuracy in their reading. It is easy to access and helps keep students on track with their reading goals. Incentivized JB Jil Borden Library Media Teacher Read full review
Cons	Questions! The Database/site was updated, and I was no longer able to access the questions and choose specific topics to study from There were two CISSP courses to watch videos, I would remove the oldest Put an emphasis that users have a years membership after completing a boot camp Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I could never figure it out. Students levels from their STAR test did not translate into the books suggested on myON. The platform is cumbersome and inaccessible for students and teachers. I am fairly tech-savvy, but I could never navigate through and understand how myON worked. Eventually, I gave up and switched to Epic. The book selection was poor. Only the non-fiction books were interesting to my students. None of the popular titles and authors were available. It was a big disappointment and frustration for me and my students.

Likelihood to Renew	We are very satisfied with the service and the offer. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Because the skills learned from the course have proven to be beneficial in the day-to-day tasks that I typically perform. They are either directly related to or at the very least a complementary skill set that allows me to perform my duties overall in a more beneficial way to the people that I support.

Return on Investment	After my courses, I was able to obtain my CCNA (passed [on] first attempt) and my CCNP (passed [on] second attempt). This is far better than the average passing rate.
