Reviews

this class was informative, made me think about certifying for the suse manager cert.

The instructor was thorough and they also provided hands-on demonstrations with labs.

Instructor knew her stuff. Long time in the industry. Course was easy to follow and very informative.

ExitCertified gave me some good trainings and I got to learn through doing labs.

Although there seemed to be too many links for the course, everything worked smoothly.
