Reviews

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

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

Brandon was a great instructor. The virtual course materials and labs provided were very informative.

Topics, material and specially instructor (Graham Godfrey) was beyond my expectations.

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