Reviews

Instructor, Training material & span of the training is neatly planned.

I was very pleased with the course setup by ExitCertified and the instructor.

Great class I learned a great deal from the material. There would seem to a large amount that I need to learn about.

The class was very vast paced however the teacher was very good at checking in on us while giving us time to complete the labs.

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