Very good company. I've done technical trainings at their facility in downtown Montreal in the past and I'Ve always appreciated them.

Course was great and the instructor had an answer for anything that was asked during the course.

I thought the course was informative and the tools to go over the material were very nice.

I registered a day before class and am happy that I received all the materials and links in time for the class. Thanks.

Good training materials and lecture. And hands on lab and the instructor guiding was good.
