Reviews

Very good company. I've done technical trainings at their facility in downtown Montreal in the past and I'Ve always appreciated them.

had a good time with the course, however some topics were left out due to the compact amount of time for training.

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

Overall ExitCertified is a great training provider and the remote learning is as effective as in person.

The training was great . But i expected some of the Networking concepts would be covered in this certification .
