Reviews
Courseware was effective but would like to have some PDF material on BPML and XPATH
Simply great training provider that I can go for updating/acquiring my skill sets.
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.
ExitCertified gave me some good trainings and I got to learn through doing labs.
Topics, material and specially instructor (Graham Godfrey) was beyond my expectations.
