Very thorough and well-presented class. Pace of the class was perfect and labs offered great opportunity to practice material.
Techdata > ExitCertified > Stonypoint, a lot of subcontractors, but it still did the trick.
The Course material and lab infrastructure and the overall Experience is very good.
Considering how much we had to cover in 5 half-day sessions this was a good primer on learning AWS.
The ExitCertified model may need some work. The Zoom link should be a link inside the invite.
