Reviews

Quick to sign-up to course, and was able to garner some information from the course.

Sean is the very good instructor. I would like to take his class again in the future.

Some Labs are very good but some steps it ask to update but its already updated, but overall its very good training.

had a good time with the course, however some topics were left out due to the compact amount of time for training.

The class and material is good. I think some of the software needs to be updated.
