Reviews
Good training material and good instruction. More time needs to be provided for the lab work.
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.
Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
Good Course. We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time. This course had useful labs that built upon each other.
