Reviews
Sean is the very good instructor. I would like to take his class again in the future.
Exit certified was great as it is very in depth and hands on learning which made it very easy to learn this type of work.
Overall ExitCertified is a great training provider and the remote learning is as effective as in person.
The training was good but needed the basic skills of maximo before getting deep in the configuration of it.
ExitCertified gave me some good trainings and I got to learn through doing labs.
