Alumni Review

Simplilearn was a great experience. The interactive classes, comprehensive curriculum, and flexible projects made learning practical. After a career gap due to health issues, the PGP Business Analysis Program equipped me with certifications like ECBA and Scrum Master, helping me secure a Business Analyst role at Revature. While job hunting was tough due to experience gaps, Simplilearn gave me the skills and confidence to persevere. I highly recommend it for career growth.
