Reviews

I didn't have any problem navigating Exitcertified website or lab material at all.

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

Easy to work with. Learning material pdfs were able to be printed out in color which was very nice to write on.

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

The course was informative, and I learnt a new skill. The instructor was up to the point.
