Reviews

This is my second course with ExitCertified. This course exceeded my expectations. The teacher was great and the class was fun.

The class was very vast paced however the teacher was very good at checking in on us while giving us time to complete the labs.

They are very good and made sure we had all the appropriate materials for class.

The format of the class was concise. I learned new skills to use at my workplace.

Good training material and good instruction. More time needs to be provided for the lab work.
