Very organized and provides a ton of information both in class and for self study. I highly recommend ExitCertified for AWS training.
The material was excellent, well laid out and the instructor was highly knowledgeable in material and able to present it easily.
This is the first time I have taken course on ExitCertified. It's pretty good and it's very easy to learn and the layout is nice. The labwork is also presented pretty well.
Thank you for training on AWS development. Course was good and encouraging but labs need to be improved and provide more information and ask students to more work than provide solutions.
I had no problems signing up for and completing the course. The introduction was clear and helpful to get the course going. The course itself was excellent and very helpful.
