I liked the pace of the course. I like that I have more than instance to use the lab.

I think the platform is very good and look forward to taking my next course in early October.

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.

very good and spcecific course and above all a very good instructor. In few days I have learned a lot.
