8. What Partners are Saying
Love the
combination of
trailheads, videos,
manuals, and
instructor learning.
Great work!
I passed!
Thanks for this
course, it was
very well
structured.
Responsive
staff, and
instructor led
sessions/e-
learning were
the most
beneficial tools
for me.
I really enjoy the
format of the course
so far. Coupling the
exercises with the
instructor led
sessions helps to
ensure you're
understanding the
concepts….
I think this is a
really good
program for
people who have
not started fully
working in their
roles….
