Reviews

The material for the course and labs were complete and I appreciated the fact you were not directly given step by step directions for the lab. I learn by having to think about the commands before I enter them.

I've attended a number of online classes over the years and Peter is an excellent instructor.

Tommy was very knowledgeable and spent the time to explain details so I would understand them.

The training and the labs helped me in my current job a lot.

The instructor clearly know the subject and delivered it well. I appreciated the fact he would track down answers if he did not have a good one himself.
