Testimonials from ETM Students:

Fernando E. Rivera

Fernando E. Rivera is the Director of Technology at Arthur Anderson, a global management and information technology consulting firm. He is responsible for all technical activities for the Chilean office, including intra, extra and Internet, communications and telecommunications. Before considering ETM, his goal was to rise to a management position. With his technical background, he knew this would be difficult.

"The exposition to an international environment and the leading edge topics covered in the ETM course load allowed me to expand my career horizons. I am now able to provide a unique combination of a very strong technical/computer background with management skills and real hands-on training. I am positive that my professional life would be totally different without my degree from ETM."
