Reviews

I think the platform is very good and look forward to taking my next course in early October.

Quick to sign-up to course, and was able to garner some information from the course.

This was effective way to provide a ton of information in a short time period.

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

Course was great and informative. The instructor had a good flow and was very personable.
