Reviews
Good training. A lot to take in for the short amount of time we have though
The instructor really took his time and made sure I was able to understand the concepts.
Courseware was effective but would like to have some PDF material on BPML and XPATH
As long as you keep Holly as an instructor, I will always come back to learn.
Sean is the very good instructor. I would like to take his class again in the future.
