Reviews
the course is good, covers many aspects, wish the lab is a little bit more in depth
great class and packed with material, would have lived to spread it more into many days but overall very informative.
It is very good and very simple instructions. almost to much hand holding.
Instructor knew her stuff. Long time in the industry. Course was easy to follow and very informative.
the interface was super easy to use and the instructions to get ready for the course was also very simple and easy to understand.
