I have 25 years of experience in IT and I am comng back after 5 years of bring away from it. I dont have any common non vender certifications so I decided to take the A+ bootcamp as a refresher. My training was accurate and helpful and gave me the confidence to take the tests. I'm taking the Net plus next, and may or may not self study for the rest.

(5-Day) Boot camp instructors were great. Having not prior IT experience I was able to pass this test by the confidence and resources provided by CIAT and instructors, but most importantly by the Grace of God! Wish all the best on their journey!

The intensive 10-hour bootcamp lecture each day for 4 days (40 hours in total) really prepared me for the AWS Cloud Practitioner and Solutions Architect certification exam. It gave me the needed motivation to go ahead and attempt the exams and I had an easy success on the exams. The Exam vouchers provided for both exams was very helpful in ensuring that I scheduled the exams on time (a week after the bootcamp) and was able to pass them with great success!
