Reviews

The training was very good to understand the concepts and how to set up things .

Class was easy to sign up for and ExitCertified provided very good communication

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

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.

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