Reviews
I didn't have any problem navigating Exitcertified website or lab material at all.
Good Course. We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time. This course had useful labs that built upon each other.
Easy to work with. Learning material pdfs were able to be printed out in color which was very nice to write on.
Quick to sign-up to course, and was able to garner some information from the course.
Some Labs are very good but some steps it ask to update but its already updated, but overall its very good training.
