Centriq Reviews: Corporate IT Training
The following is feedback we received from customers that took a training class from Centriq’s Corporate Division. Dates and descriptions are available for these and other training classes on Centriq’s Class Schedule.
EC Council Certified Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures v9 (CEH-100)
Instructor: Kasama Kasemvudhi
- Kasama is a very good instructor. He presents the information in a way that is easy to understand and does not confuse the students. He is quick to help you out if you are having problems with understanding a topic and the labs. I would defiantly take more classes that are taught by Kasama and would recommend his classes to others.
