"Great class! I was able to pass the CCNA exam very easily. The labs were fun and challenging. I recommend this course to anyone looking to pass their CCNA."
Ricardo
"Instructor was very clear and concise. He explained the topics in an easy to understand manner. The labs were fun and made passing the real CCNA exam easy."
Michael
"Very good hands-on course. Instructor were excellent and really knew their material."
Candice
"Having the right instructor makes all the difference, when trying to learn complex topics. I tried self-studying but it was hard making time and understanding the topics by myself. Our instructor was able to make the material very easy and fun to learn. His method of not using the book, but explaining while we were doing the lab made the class enjoyable."
