Reviews

Good training. A lot to take in for the short amount of time we have though

Quick to sign-up to course, and was able to garner some information from the course.

Overall it was a good bootcamp. A lot to cover so it is understandable that the pace had to be a little fast.

I thought the course was informative and the tools to go over the material were very nice.

ExitCertified provided great learning material and the instructor was great.
