Reviews
had a good time with the course, however some topics were left out due to the compact amount of time for training.
Good Course. We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time. This course had useful labs that built upon each other.
Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
The platform is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Great tool for learning
I liked the pace of the course. I like that I have more than instance to use the lab.
