Reviews

Courseware was effective but would like to have some PDF material on BPML and XPATH

Topics, material and specially instructor (Graham Godfrey) was beyond my expectations.

They are very good and made sure we had all the appropriate materials for class.

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

Great class I learned a great deal from the material. There would seem to a large amount that I need to learn about.
