"I’ve worked with OpenTeach (Competentum Group) for over 8 years. I cannot think of a more sincere endorsement than a long standing relationship. I wouldn’t return to OpenTeach (Competentum Group) if I was completely satisfied with their professional services.

One additional comment: although it has been some time since I worked on programming (not EOC content), I was always impressed with the programmers’ suggestions. I learned a lot from their engineers. My projects benefited by their creative suggestions…they made my project better than if they had followed just our strict storyboards."

"I am so pleased that this project ran as smoothly as it did. Competentum did a fabulous job managing the work load to get the job done well and ahead of schedule. The team working directly on the project was very responsive to our training and learned very quickly what our rules and standards for topic coding are. I think that part of the success of this project is due to the fact that we had already done one round of topic coding before starting this second round, but much of the success was due to your team."

Language difficulties have been minor – our contacts have good skills in spoken English and seem entirely fluent in written English.
