Reviews

Although there seemed to be too many links for the course, everything worked smoothly.

Overall it was a good bootcamp. A lot to cover so it is understandable that the pace had to be a little fast.

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

I didn't have any problem navigating Exitcertified website or lab material at all.

the interface was super easy to use and the instructions to get ready for the course was also very simple and easy to understand.
