Indiana Academy for Out-of-School Learning

The IN OST Professional Development Community is right up our alley--and the customer service is great! In fact, we are using the group options so our team can view one course, have a discussion and spread learning over a few weeks! Then everyone gets to take a separate post-test! My team is sold!

Herb Higgin - Safe Harbor Coordinator

CypherWorx has created a great online training format that enables our new hires to receive our onboarding and new employee orientation programs on demand and in a timely manner.

Buddy Campbell - YMCA Buffalo Niagara

CypherWorx's team is professional, accessible via their toll free number, and extremely helpful. It is with pleasure that I recommend their services to other organizations.
