PacketBrain - Training and Consulting

PacketBrain was founded by a veteran group of Cisco instructors, sales, and management professionals to deliver Cisco authorized training at unprecedented prices. Our stated goal is simple. Use the "best of breed" technologies we teach in the classroom to automate processes, increase productivity, and reduce headcount.

"Even when companies offer products or services of the same basic quality at similar prices, their bottom lines and the experiences of their customers can vary widely. A key differentiator is the processes that make companies what they are."

A quick glance at our pricing reveals that we are priced more than 30% less than our competition and we are diligent in our efforts to serve you efficiently while maintaining the highest level of quality in our industry.

PacketBrain Executive Team:

Ken Peterson - President

Mr. Peterson is a graduate of The Georgia Institute of Technology with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He began his career at Cisco Systems working as a TAC engineeer recreating customer networks and performing root cause analysis in the Cisco labs. This exposure to a wide variety of customer configurations and designs naturally prepared him for his next position as one of the first instructors at ARG, the company that later became Global Knowledge. He has been involved with the Cisco learning program since its inception in the mid 90s.

During his ten years at Global Knowledge, Mr. Peterson served as both a Unix and Cisco instructor, an E-learning author, a course director, and ended his tenure as the Technical Director of the Cisco Service Provider training group. Mr. Peterson then joined FastLane as the Vice President of Product Development for a two year span where he served in a direct sales role to Fortune 500 clients, created and directed a technical team of over 100 instructors in 30 countries, and served as the lead for large course development projects such as the new CCNP curriculum released by Cisco in 2010.

In 2009, Mr. Peterson branched out to manage the formation of PacketBrain and has directed all activities with a tight focus on three items: quality, cost control, and technical expertise.
