Excellent I would highly recommend ExitCertified (Tech Data) training courses
The course presentation and the material that accompanies the course were both very good. I learned many new important topics that can possibly be applied at my place of work.
This is a great way to learn online. Courses are well structured and clearly explained with very dedicated staff.
Each part of the course comes with labs which is very useful. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow.
I had a good and comfortable remote training experience. Look forward to more such trainings.
