Reviews

Topics, material and specially instructor (Graham Godfrey) was beyond my expectations.

Good training material and good instruction. More time needs to be provided for the lab work.

The training was good but needed the basic skills of maximo before getting deep in the configuration of it.

This is my second course with ExitCertified. This course exceeded my expectations. The teacher was great and the class was fun.

I didn't have any problem navigating Exitcertified website or lab material at all.
