Reviews

Exit certified was great as it is very in depth and hands on learning which made it very easy to learn this type of work.

I didn't have any problem navigating Exitcertified website or lab material at all.

Easy to work with. Learning material pdfs were able to be printed out in color which was very nice to write on.

ExitCertified provided great learning material and the instructor was great.

ExitCertified gave me some good trainings and I got to learn through doing labs.
