Reviews

I think the platform is very good and look forward to taking my next course in early October.

Courseware was effective but would like to have some PDF material on BPML and XPATH

The instructor really took his time and made sure I was able to understand the concepts.

Great and very intuitive. Better than the traditional hit the wrong button/lose points.

You get detailed labs to guide you through the technical material giving you a hands on method of learning otherwise difficult material.
