Reviews

Good course. I appreciate the time the instructor put into teaching this class.

You get detailed labs to guide you through the technical material giving you a hands on method of learning otherwise difficult material.

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

The instructor really took his time and made sure I was able to understand the concepts.

Fantastic and great training. Tons of hands-on labs to really make you understand the material being thought.
