The course was conducted in a methodical and in a timely manner. Very professional.
I learned a lot of directly usable skills from Tech Data. It will make an immediate impact in our work center.
Great training company. Use them. Worth every penny. Instructors are great, equipment is great, system is great.
Myles was a fantastic instructor! The training was spot on and the delivery was excellent! I highly recommend ExitCertified for education/training!
It would be better if the classroom had two power point screens so the instructor could have two screens shown to the class at the same time to reduce confusion switching back and forth
