Great and very intuitive. Better than the traditional hit the wrong button/lose points.
ExitCertified was a great. They gave me all the materials and information I needed ahead of time to prepare for the course.
The labs and course material gave me valuable insights into cloud security architecture
It is very good and very simple instructions. almost to much hand holding.
The training was good but needed the basic skills of maximo before getting deep in the configuration of it.
