Best training ever. Muhammad Faisal was just the best tutor. By the end of 4 days training from zero start I was already achieving over 60 percent and then just had to follow up with the study plan and go ahead with the momentum. Nothing was too much trouble. Extremely supportive tutor who also coached me with the application process and heaps of tips for the exam. I know I am ready and I will come back and let you know when I pass in the next month. for sure.

Transitioning Officer in pursuit of PMP and MBA
Tim was beyond amazing. Not only did he know his craft, but he was also able to explain it to a level someone with the lowest level of knowledge could understand, without insulting the intelligence. I came in with barely any formal knowledge of the PM world and ended leaving with way more competency. Tim mixed personal experience and PMI terms/processes/knowledge areas to increase my understanding (it worked). Loved this class, loved the teacher. I will definitely recommend this class and more specifically, the teacher to other coworkers, friends and family. Thank you!

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.

Management and Program Analyst at Logistics Readiness Center
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.

I had the pleasant opportunity to follow the lessons of Toshal K. for the AWS Cloud Architect Associate, each explanation of the topics in the reference manual was followed by a meticulous investigation through the step-by-step creation of the inherent procedures. Overall, although I have not yet taken the exam, I can call it an extremely satisfying experience thanks to the availability and closeness of all staff members.
