Reviews
I was very pleased with the course setup by ExitCertified and the instructor.
Exit certified was great as it is very in depth and hands on learning which made it very easy to learn this type of work.
Both course material and instructor demonstrated a sound foundation on Maximo material
Good training materials and lecture. And hands on lab and the instructor guiding was good.
Good training material and good instruction. More time needs to be provided for the lab work.
