Reviews

I like their training. A lot of material covered. The labs are very good. l learned a lot.

ExitCertified provided a very organized way to learn and provided materials to follow along.

The training was good but needed the basic skills of maximo before getting deep in the configuration of it.

Class was easy to sign up for and ExitCertified provided very good communication

I registered a day before class and am happy that I received all the materials and links in time for the class. Thanks.
