Reviews
The platform is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Great tool for learning
The class was very vast paced however the teacher was very good at checking in on us while giving us time to complete the labs.
Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
had a good time with the course, however some topics were left out due to the compact amount of time for training.
it was good and very informative. Instructure covered everything in detail.
