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.

The course was very dense, and I learned a whole lot from this course. This was my first time taking a course like this. I was very nervous coming in, but Barry was a great help in delivering the material.

Tarik Rukab was a VERY good instructor. He was so friendly and nice throughout the entire course. If a student needed help, he was nice and willing to help in all cases. Also, he answered all of my many questions. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and he made sure to answer all of my questions. Even remembering to come back and talk about a question that I may have asked. Overall 10/10 , 5 stars
