Reviews
I didn't have any problem navigating Exitcertified website or lab material at all.
It was very informative and covered all the required materials along with handson labs for practice.
it was good and very informative. Instructure covered everything in detail.
They are very good and made sure we had all the appropriate materials for class.
The class and material is good. I think some of the software needs to be updated.
