Reviews
The class and material is good. I think some of the software needs to be updated.
The training was good but needed the basic skills of maximo before getting deep in the configuration of it.
I think the platform is very good and look forward to taking my next course in early October.
great class and packed with material, would have lived to spread it more into many days but overall very informative.
Exit certified was great as it is very in depth and hands on learning which made it very easy to learn this type of work.
