"I felt like the Instructor knew what he was talking about in both content and how the content interplayed with CompTIA's use in the exam. Incorrect answers allowed learning opportunities to reinforce what was correct and why. I would not want to pass up the opportunity to attend CIAT Bootcamp as part of my next CompTIA exam prep study plan."
