Had a good time taking course with ExitCertified. The Data Science course with Python was really laid out well and it was very easy to understand and navigate. The setup using Anaconda was really good and it was easy to follow along and do the practise exercises.

The organization of the class is great, the class delivery was fantastic, and the course itself was very informative.

The course and labs were well organized and performed flawlessly. They made sure that all the information was timely relayed to the students.

Very diligent and good structured/delivered experience serving needs. Requested equipment was delivered in time. Great experience.

Good instructors and labs. Labs could be a bit clearer on instructions. Some instructions were out of sink with the AWS console.
