I am very pleased with an outstanding training course. I find it very useful, practical, and overall flexible. Catherine, my instructor, was very professional and knowledgeable, not only in using the Pathloss 5 tool, but also about Microwave technologies and all theory involved. I highly recommend this training for professionals interested in the use of Pathloss. Catherine answered and clarified all my questions during extensive practice models, which for me is the best way to learn this kind of design tool.

Catherine, thank you very much for your instruction and knowledge. I feel like all of the gaps have been filled in and my knowledge has increased exponentially. I found that the Digital Microwave Radio Basics class helped build the foundation that when combined with the Pathloss training, I understand why the path fails or succeeds instead of just knowing the results. I would recommend both classes to anyone in the industry.

Dear Catherine, it was a great pleasure for me to join your course, I really admired your explanation and presentation method, and as you often say if I remember well "I use picture to make paragraph understandable", by this way, you turn complex subject into an easy and practical one, Also I adored when you add some laughter to the course which makes it fun, and finally, you answered all my questions.
I will be happy to recommend you to any of my friends who is interested in Pathloss classes.

I too want to say thank you to both you and Rob for the training. I learned a lot and felt both classes were very informative and will help immensely. You and Rob are very knowledgeable on Pathloss and Microwave and could have not ask for better instructors. Like Joe stated as I work through my current and future projects if any questions arise I will defiantly reach out to you.

During the Pathloss 5 course I was greatly impressed by Ms. Catherine Liu's vast knowledge, not only on Pathloss Software, but also on a variety of subjects connected to planning and testing Multi-Channel Radio. Ms. Liu has instructed in a pleasant and positive attitude, while responding skillfully to my endless and rather complicated professional questions, which were not necessarily always in direct accordance with the nature of the course. Her immense help, guidance and advice are undoubtedly going to help us a lot in developing and testing the new generation of MCR in the years to come.
I wish to express my gratitude to Ms. Catherine Liu for her outstanding ability, useful comments and attention she has extended to me. It is for these reasons that I offer high recommendations for Ms. Liu. Anyone wishing to get guidance in Pathloss should make sure he gets it from her. Eventually, he will be as grateful as I am.

The PL5 training was developed from a deep level of intense knowledge with an overwhelming amount of real world experiences. The instructor Catherine has a unique ability to explain complex calculations in a manner which is easy to understand and comprehend. The small class size allows for unlimited amount of time to ask questions and discuss different types of design scenarios. I strongly recommend this phenomenal training for anyone who works with Pathloss or designs microwave networks. If I could condense this training review into one word it would be "Epic".
The very best training, conducted by a truly experienced professional who is happy to share a monumental, impressive amount of knowledge with whomever attends this magnificent class! Thank you Catherine!!!

I enjoyed the courses very much, and I feel that I benefitted a lot from them. I think that the most important component was the knowledge and experience that both you and Rob brought into the presentations.

Telecom Training Center provided a clear introduction to Pathloss 5 in the three day class. It helped that the group was already familiar with microwave design but there were many functions to cover. She is very knowledgeable on both the program and radio theory and better, she can effectively help students understand a piece at a time. She helped us to include clutter data from the USGS database in example designs effectively demonstrating this new feature of Pathloss 5. I am very satisfied in the training received.

Thank you for coming last week. I sincerely appreciated learning more detail about the formulas associated with microwave path engineering and the direct effects they have upon availability. Plus there are several other items I learned to raise my awareness on certain topics. I also appreciated the presentation you sent me and your expertise in microwave path engineering.

The Pathloss 4.0 course conducted in November 2010 has been a very useful course. It contained both theoretical part and practical examples in designing a microwave radio link using various modules in the Pathloss 4.0 software. The course also included details about obtaining required databases from pathloss website and other sources.
This is a 3 day course. An optional 4th day for the participants to exclusively practice in designing microwave radio networks could be useful.

The training on PL5 I undertook was a practical blend of theoretical knowledge with an unbeatable hands-on experience that is carved out from my regional locations that I am quite familiar with. Its a fantastic experience to be guided by a seasoned trainer that seems like back in the university days. It's a wonderful learning experience for me.

The training program was fantastic, we learned a lot of new things and I would like to note the flexibility you shown in providing the training. Any question we asked regarding any topic you have responded brilliantly. You were patient and willing to explain in layman terms, that is why the course was easy to understand and fun to learn. So it gave me an insight of how the new features of the program perform and to use them which I shall in our daily tasks. Thanks again.

Regarding the Pathloss and microwave radio network design training course we attended in October 2010. I would like to thank you for an excellent course. The Pathloss and microwave radio network design training course was the perfect combination of theory and practice. I believe this was so because of the flexibility afforded by your very experienced instructor. I would highly recommend it.

I wanted to thank you for the high quality of the training you provided on the Pathloss 4 software. You also provided 'real-world' examples and experience which was directly applicable to our current frequency migration efforts. I now have the knowledge to effectively use the Pathloss software and am able to provide engineering solutions with confidence. Best wishes and I hope we will see you for Pathloss 5 training.

Thank you for everything. I learned and enjoyed a lot with Telecom Training Center's pl4 course. I appreciate your kind help and the good teaching.
The guides and documents of the course are excellent. Good information and it goes to the point. I liked it that. Again, thank you for everything and I will contact you for any doubt of MW design and pl4.

I was really happy that I had the Pathloss 5 course with you this August. I haven't had a training on these program release before, and really
liked that you helped me a lot with the software and with your own experience. With no doubts, I feel more comfortable designing links with PL5 after the training. There were many little details in this program that we have to keep in mind, and I appreciate that you took that time to go over all the options available. I really appreciate you sharing your experience in link budgets design and your experience with the program; it was really valuable.

I attended the Pathloss 5 training in September 2011. The training is excellent. The lecture materials are well organized and really made things easier. Thanks to the instructor's extensive experience with Pathloss software and telecom planning, I benefit a lot through the interactive learning process and hands on practice. Overall my learning objection was fully met. I definitely recommend this training course to my colleagues.

I would like to say that the RF planning and Pathloss courses were very informative and knowledge impacting. A lot of grey areas were clarified, and new knowledge acquired. I really benefited from your wealth of experiences on Microwave design during the Pathloss sessions; and also Lynn"s experiences on the RF planning.
The hands-on sessions on the Pathloss tool usage, will enable me to acquire more skills and experience in the future. I will recommend the courses to my team, and company.
