Reviews
Overall ExitCertified is a great training provider and the remote learning is as effective as in person.
I think the platform is very good and look forward to taking my next course in early October.
ExitCertified gave me some good trainings and I got to learn through doing labs.
I liked the pace of the course. I like that I have more than instance to use the lab.
You get detailed labs to guide you through the technical material giving you a hands on method of learning otherwise difficult material.
