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

Great company -- easy to sign up and very organized. Loved my teacher and class overall.

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

the course is good, covers many aspects, wish the lab is a little bit more in depth

the interface was super easy to use and the instructions to get ready for the course was also very simple and easy to understand.
