The overall learning experience with ExitCertified provided course is excellent.
Very effective way of training. I love the access after the class of the recording and labs.
I would highly recommend this instructor. But would appreciate the Actual Slide material to refresh. Also exam prep doc would be an advantage
Good experience. Maybe some additional elaboration at some points might be helpful.
