Reviews

Good Course. We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time. This course had useful labs that built upon each other.

Brandon was a great instructor. The virtual course materials and labs provided were very informative.

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

Instructor was great, course was mostly very good except for too much focus on pricing

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