We have been using Hernando for all our AI training for the last 8 years. We have been extremely satisfied with his work. Very professional, knowledgeable and connects with employees very well. Spanish training was a must for us, so Hernando's bilingual skills really helped our employees feel comfortable and understand the training to the fullest.
