Reviews

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

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.

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

Very good material, the instructor was clear explaining the topics, and the labs were easy to follow it.

Simply great training provider that I can go for updating/acquiring my skill sets.
