Reviews

Good training material and good instruction. More time needs to be provided for the lab work.

The training was very good to understand the concepts and how to set up things .

Some Labs are very good but some steps it ask to update but its already updated, but overall its very good training.

I think the platform is very good and look forward to taking my next course in early October.

Good Course. We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time. This course had useful labs that built upon each other.
