David PerezSenior Director of Software Architecture, Ziosk
We had a working product but through the training we learned how Bluetooth LE worked at the lowest levels. Through the training we discovered behaviors and improvements we wouldn't have even thought about prior to taking this training. I enjoyed that Mohammad took the time to understand our use cases and tailored the training to focus on the areas that mattered most to my team. I would highly recommend anyone working with Bluetooth LE take this training.

Al PappaSr. Technical Architect, Ziosk
The BLE Mastery training program conducted by Novel Bits covered all aspects of the BLE from the BLE standard up to the Android and iOS implementations.
The training included hands-on sessions where we updated firmware for a BLE device and were able to see the BLE advertisements from our changes.
I especially liked the BLE packet and spectrum analyzer tooling where we were able to see all the radio traffic with BLEs.
Mohammed and his team are very knowledgeable about the BLE space and I would recommend this course to organizations that are in the process of evaluating or using BLE devices.

Steve RantaXbox Accessories Technologist, Microsoft
Mohammad delivered a highly tailored training that addressed our unique needs in understanding the many features and aspects of applying Bluetooth in our products. He demonstrated his extensive knowledge of Bluetooth and was able to answer many of our questions as they came up during the training. Mohammad's approach to training was interactive and hands-on, very powerful for getting up to speed with the highly evolving specifications as quickly as possible. Thank you again!

Michael KraftLead Mobile Developer - HP Tuners
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Mohammed and Joe. They were highly knowledgeable on the subject matter, the lessons were conversational and interactive, they were always prepared to answer questions and we frequently found ourselves sidetracked in the best way possible for learning: in trying to make things work with the tech in front of us. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to use the on-loan hardware provided, and being able to finally use stuff we had already purchased with guidance from someone who already knew how it worked. We were also put in touch with a vendor to get one of our own ordered just after. Overall I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to get a grip on a good understanding of Bluetooth fundamentals: both these gentlemen were an absolute pleasure to work with, and I hope we have cause to hire them on again someday.

Jarrett BartlettLead Hardware engineer at Delta Faucet Company
The program was very informative and helpful. I learned a ton on the history, implementation, and inner workings of Bluetooth technology. Mohammad was able to answer every question the group had and could even provide real world examples on most things. I'm a hardware engineer, but I still found a ton of value in using the development kits and sniffers provided by Mohammad. I'd highly recommend this class for any engineering department as Bluetooth becomes a dominant wireless technology into the future.

Joe BaumgarteDelta Faucet Company
This training was SO good and thorough! It went through the evolution of Bluetooth Low Energy to give incredible options for any application. The best part of the instruction was his willingness to brainstorm on various ways to solve problems so we can further our product plans, but then took it to the next level by teaching us how to sniff and debug the protocol so we can be successful in our applications.
Mohammad's knowledge of Bluetooth Low Energy is nothing short of encyclopedic. This allows for excellent brainstorming to help us plan for ways to solve current and future problems using this versatile technology.

FAIZAL SATTAR SHAIKHAllegion
The program was very informative. Knowing nothing about the ble now i can say i know many things. The good part about the program is the practical that you can actually see raw ble data on the sniffer.
Highly recommended if you wanna learn ble -
John GentnerFirmware Engineer @ Allegion
If you are a beginner when it comes to Bluetooth LE development, this program will be fantastic for you. Mohammed does a great job breaking everything down and handing out plenty of examples for everyone to learn. I recommend reading the intro book Mohammed has released to learn and gather the basic of Bluetooth LE

David NewbyEngineering Manager, Firmware, Allegion
I, and my team of 5 firmware engineers, recently attended NovelBits' Bluetooth LE Mastery Training, and it was an exceptional experience. Mohammad is passionate and extremely knowledgable about Bluetooth LE. The training was comprehensive and well-structured, covering all the essential aspects of Bluetooth Low Energy technology. What impressed us the most was the hands-on approach taken during the training. We had the opportunity to work with Bluetooth LE devkits and Ellysis sniffers. We developed practical applications. Mohammad provided clear instructions and guidance, ensuring that everyone in the class was able to follow along and grasp the concepts effectively. The training materials and resources provided were top-notch. Mohammad shared relevant documentation, code samples, and best practices, which proved to be invaluable for future reference. He also encouraged open discussions and welcomed questions, creating an engaging learning environment. We appreciated Mohammad's expertise and his ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. His enthusiasm for the topic was contagious, making the training sessions enjoyable and inspiring. Overall, we left the Bluetooth LE training with a solid foundation and practical skills that we can apply to our future products. We highly recommend this training to any organization looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of Bluetooth Low Energy technology. It exceeded our expectations and has undoubtedly boosted our team's confidence in working with Bluetooth LE devices.
