Reviews

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

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

They were very good. They made sure everyone was able to get into the training and got all of the material needed for class.

Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.

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