Thank you for your review, and congratulations on passing your exam! Thank you for being part of the CIAT community, we wish you the best of luck on all future endeavors!
I was impressed with the instructor's knowledge and ability to prepare the class for the certification. He covered the topics well and provided real word advice on the test, what to expect and how to prepare. I took four weeks after the boot camp to study as suggested. I successfully passed the certification on my first attempt. I believe the class content matched very well to the exam objectives.

My experience here at CIAT is going good. My only concern is that I wish books were included in the tuition or at least received more help with purchasing books.
