Reviews
had a good time with the course, however some topics were left out due to the compact amount of time for training.
Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
This is my second course with ExitCertified. This course exceeded my expectations. The teacher was great and the class was fun.
The training was very good to understand the concepts and how to set up things .
Brandon was a great instructor. The virtual course materials and labs provided were very informative.
