Thank you so much , the class was very informative and helpful. The instructor is so awesome and the material was very good too.
Troy is an excellent instructor. He's very knowledgeable and offers plenty of time to ask questions and for classmates to interact with each other.
The instructor was easy to follow. He gave examples before and after we did exercises. He even explained the exercises before we went into them.
There was lots of information, but it was well taught and re-enforced by labs and materials.
The course is absolutely fantastic! The instructor is knowledgeable and provided great explanation for all the aspects I wanted to learn.
