Carmen did a fantastic job instructing our Class. From providing in depth analysis on course material to drawing from outside sources and personal experiences to fully flesh out the subject matter she placed a high level of importance on our understanding. Hoping all her hard work pays off on our success on the exam. I would unconditionally recommend her as an instructor and project manager!

Mr. Biswa has been a very thorough instructor providing a very comprehensive training on Program Management. It has been a pleasure learning from him and look forward to taking more courses under Sprintzeal for related topics on Program Management. I will take what I have learned from him and Sprintzeal to my workplace and maybe apply some of the lessons in the area of Procurement Management. I feel also that I am maybe 60% percent ready to take the exam but will be close to 100% by the time I read more course materials and study for it. Thank you for the learning experience and look forward to learning some more.

Dani is a very knowledgeable project manager, with real-life experiences and stories. He was able to take the slides provided by Sprintzeal and know if they were from PMBOK 5 or PMBOK 6, what was enhanced, what was deleted, and apply an example that made sense to the topic. Dani's biggest challenge was the GoToMeeting process and landing back on the slide deck after providing additional information to teach a particular point. It is challenging to teach people on different coasts, but he was able to and respect the time difference.
Review of Sprintzeal: Alex reached out to me and walked me through the entire registration process, answering all of my questions and there were many. I was supposed to have a live class, but because I ended up being the only person that did not cancel they transferred me into an on-line class and have offered an additional class to make up for that. I received my PMBOX 6 book ahead of class and found everything very straight forward. I hope that the three mock tests and assistance in completing my application are as clear and efficient as the rest of this has been.
I have 4 stars for the slide reading and technical challenges to date.
Thank you - Christi

I have taken the AWS Solution Architect Associate Certification training course. Toshal Kahawale was the trainer. Toshal had covered all the important topics required for a Solution Architect in a detailed manner. He had provided real-world application examples while explaining the topics. That was really helpful. Toshal has plenty of experience in designing & architecting cloud applications

The trainer did well covering a wide range of topics in 4 days, although I would have liked some more real-life representations of what was being shown.Perhaps VMs, or examples of how viruses work in a real-to-life environment.Aside from that, I thought the course was very informative and helped build a framework for an understanding of Security+. We were also provided 12 hours of CompTIA labs that I think will be a HUGE help.

Overall Sprintzeal Comptia A+ was great, they helped me a lot just learning stuff I would have never learned otherwise, one way they could improve is by starting a bit earlier in IT, like just giving basic knowledge and vocabulary that we should know. Otherwise once we learned everything it was pretty easy to grasp.
