Class was very informative, although one lab didnt but will try again later
It is very good and very simple instructions. almost to much hand holding.
This was my first experience with tech data, but I was very impressed and appreciative of the course and the material presented. The instructor, Mark, really knew his stuff and presented it very well.
I am impressed with the level of attention and swift support from ExitCertified. Great work
PLEASE, provide recordings of the sessions for us to be able to review after the course.
