When your certification training "course" is used to sell you products and equipment how can you be sure the information is accurate and complete?

Since we started in 1994 SunFocus has been "brand neutral". We have no "sponsors" or "partners" that pay us for endorsement; no affiliation with any industry vendor. We are not an "Association", "Institute" or "Network" setup by a marketing company or magazine publisher. We have no membership fees and carry no ads.

We are truthfully independent; this allows us to give you accurate and independent information you can trust, not ads "dressed up" as information.
