I have been in IT field many years, have been many training, Michael is one of the best.

Instructor was excellent in finding answers quickly through his resources, and was very open to provide supplemental material to help with our specific needs.

Instructor was great at engaging participants and when applicable tailoring content/discussion to projects we're currently working on. It's hard to keep a classroom engaged in a virtual environment but Stas did a great job.

Michael did an awesome job and I learned a tremendous amount. Atlanta location was very comfortably set up. I'd be more than happy to take another training with Michael & with ExitCertified. Thank you!

Overall, it was a good class and provided a good intro to all the different AWS solutions and how they all work together.
