Reviews

Tom did a great job adding advice and deeper details from his own experience, not just conveying what's in the course materials. He talked about real-life scenarios and likely exam questions where this knowledge from class would come in handy.

Tarik was great!, he took the time to explain every topic. His speed was on point, I was able to understand the information at the first time.

Everything associated was very professional and will be very useful in daily tasks

I thought Barry did a good job. I especially liked how we took the first part of each morning to go over questions together as a class from the previous day s material

Nothing. Mark somehow made an online class engaging! Fantastic additional points when needed. A ton of great insight from his own experience and answered questions to completion and then some. Fantastic.
