Reviews
Overall experiance is very nice. the online training plateform is very advance.
Although there seemed to be too many links for the course, everything worked smoothly.
Instructor was great, course was mostly very good except for too much focus on pricing
Quick to sign-up to course, and was able to garner some information from the course.
I didn't have any problem navigating Exitcertified website or lab material at all.
