Reviews

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

The training was great . But i expected some of the Networking concepts would be covered in this certification .

The tool provided to practice the course teachings is very functional and easy to use.

Overall it was a good bootcamp. A lot to cover so it is understandable that the pace had to be a little fast.

Easy to use and exactly what I was looking for. Value for money was exceptional.
