Good training. A lot to take in for the short amount of time we have though
This is my second course with ExitCertified. This course exceeded my expectations. The teacher was great and the class was fun.
The training was very good to understand the concepts and how to set up things .
Great class I learned a great deal from the material. There would seem to a large amount that I need to learn about.
the course is good, covers many aspects, wish the lab is a little bit more in depth
