Kevin Davis Phenomenal instructor that provided actual conceptual scenarios that focused on the overall PMP concept that I could relate to in the corporate culture. He was very patient and determined to ensure we stayed on track w/ the focus of understanding the fundamentals of PMP.

I took the certification program CompTIA security+. I really enjoyed the course. The facilitator was very knowledgeable and thoughtful in explaining concepts. I do wish there were more live sessions. I don't think 8 is enough to fully prepare for the CompTia test.

Concepts have been explain with real world examples. Key is to forget organizational practices when opting for ITIL and keep and open mind about the concepts and not mix it.
It was a great learning experience

I have had a great experience with my AWS training with Sprintzeal. Originally the trainer I had my first training batch with, was a bit difficult for me to understand. She was honestly very knowledgeable but I couldn't grasp the concepts with her style. I reached out to Jason Caldwell/Leonard Paul about my early learning experience. I was incredibly pleased that I was moved to another trainers training batch. My new trainer (Paul Oyola) was easy for me to understand at a pace that was better fit for me. Paul was not only friendly from day 1 but remained that way throughout all of the classes. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and efficient. If Paul didn't have an answer to a question one of the students asked, Paul would search for an answer and provide us with more information. I haven't taken the AWS exam yet, but I am confident I will pass and look forward to letting Paul know. I am so happy that I chose Sprintzeal for my AWS training. I am also pleased with the patience and customer service I received from the time Leonard Paul reached out to me to the time Jason Caldwell and Alex Wood assisted me as needed. Great experience all the way around!

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!

I was not sure where to book my CompTIA Security+ certification training and I am happy that I went with Sprintzeal.
The trainer was very knowledgeable and the company was very flexible in scheduling the training in dates that were fitting my schedule.

I have attended ITIL® 4 Foundation by Sprintzeal that was really helpful to get introduction to the matter and get prepared to the exam. The trainer has demonstrated his ability to emphasize the most crucial points of ITIL 4, the communication was easy and straight forward, all the queries have been answered properly with real life examples.

I was lucky to get an excellent trainer. Super knowledgeable and patient. Giving 4-stars only because Sprintzeal comes across as disjointed upon introduction. For example, two sales reps reached out to me at the same time and then I felt passed off. More visibility into who is doing what and their role would be helpful.
