Reviews
my experince was great from the day i regetered to the actuall day of the class.
The instructor was thorough and they also provided hands-on demonstrations with labs.
Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
Easy to use and exactly what I was looking for. Value for money was exceptional.
I was very pleased with the course setup by ExitCertified and the instructor.
