Aaron Brown
Instructor
A California native, I was born and raised in Santa Monica, and as you can probably guess, yes, I love the beach, water sports, surfing, fishing, bike riding, you name it. Currently working out of our Burbank center, I've been with New Horizons for over 22 years! Even though I’ve always worked on commission my whole working adult life, my passion and competitive nature started back as a quarterback at Santa Monica High School, and a receiver at USC.

"I did an instructor led training for Excel 2010 Level 1 at the Burbank facility. I had very little to no experience in Excel and this class was just the right pace and had the right content for a beginner. Prior to this course I had never taken a computer course, not even in college. All that I knew of Microsoft Office I figured out on my own, with a lot of help from that 'help' button and Google searches! Being in the classroom environment with an instructor was SO much easier!"
"With well earned respect, I am confidently recommending New Horizons Learning Group. I have recently had great experiences working with New Horizons and Account Executive Yvette as she has been very helpful and attentive while assisting with creating personalized IT Training plan for AFEX."
New Horizon Burbank was perfect for me. I'm a current student there and I'm almost done with my program. All the staff in the Burbank office is very helpful... I have classes very early in there morning at 6am and Gayane is here with a pleasant demeanor and ready to help me with anything relating class/computer and she has helped me numerous times with a smile on her face. Ethan is very helpful as well and is always willing to answer any question and will drop anything he's doing to help me. Brenda is always so approachable even on her lunch break to talk about classes, job opportunities, resumes, and cover letters. Brenda genuinely wants to help you succeed even after the class or program is finished. Thank you New Horizon Burbank for helping me excel in my career.
"We were initially skeptical about taking the classes Live Online but New Horizons let us audit a class for a day and we could tell from that experience that we would be able to get the same level of training from the online classes. This also helps us save money as we did not need to pay for any travel costs. Where most of our staff is located, most of the local training schools do not always have all the courses we want available or do not have the newest courses. With New Horizons Live Online we are able to find pretty much any Microsoft course that we desire."
"Just a quick note to say thank you for all of your support and guidance through the ITIL Foundations training process. Without it, completion in a timely manner would not have been possible. Your personal involvement afford me a creative way to complete the course through resources previously unknown to me and being recently laid off, this was truly beneficial and I expect that it will play a key roles in securing my next employment opportunity. Your diligence really demonstrates how dedicated you are to the process and showed a genuine desire to keep New Horizon's name in the forefront as a quality technology training organizations"
