I was not sure where to book my CompTIA Security+ certification training and I am happy that I went with Sprintzeal.

The facilitator, Ms. Noor Zohara was extremely helpful and made our life easy in registration any queries or information about the course. She is very organized, friendly and supportive of the applicants. The speaker Mr. Mohammad Al Rumaih, was knowledgeable, very nice, informative, skillful, highly professional and really made it real with real-life examples. We are feeling that we are confident enough to take the exams and start our own project management. There are some areas for improvement in the venue it’s relatively small, hot water is not available all the time for making hot beverages. Otherwise, everything was fine and thanks again. I will definitely repeat my experience with sprintzeal again and again.

Jason and Shane were phenomenal. I scheduled the bootcamp and went through the training. I had a hiccup during the training and was unable to complete a portion. Jason made all of the resources available to me and accommodated me in moving forward. Jason from SprintZeal was helpful from the start and through the finish of the process. Thank you all so much! You are all that you advertise and so much more. 100% great training and service! Trust Mamma Reviews
