"Quality has been defined as “going above and beyond expectations”. That is exactly what Intrepid did. The State of Washington was at a crossroads when Intrepid came into the picture. They helped refocus the project providing a very timely and much needed objective service--one that led to the best choice for an e-learning partner for all state employees. A company would be foolish to try and tackle an e-learning initiative without enlisting the services of Intrepid. They bring objectivity that is invaluable in making major e-learning decisions." David Dobson, eLearning Program Manager, Washington State Department of Personnel
