Reviews

Tarik was engaging and enthusiastic throughout the learning paths. He made sure to speak clearly and understandably (unlike many other online IT educators) and was sure to not be condescending at the most basic of questions. He should get a raise!

Good pace, good job getting the audience to interact, lots of topic in this course but he got to all of it and shared tons of follow up resources to get additional info.

Art was an excellent instructor, clearly and easily explaining the topics which reinforced a lot of what I knew from my job as well as clarify many topics I hadn't had the opportunity to work with yet, such as Viva.

Cynthia Wade is a fantastic instructor. Very easy to listen to and she keeps the class running smoothly. I would be happy to have her instruct all my online classes if I could!

Complete course was up to the mark and design pattern was also easy to understand
