thorough course covering materials needed to understand aws, architecture, and their interactions. Labs helped
Good instructors and labs. Labs could be a bit clearer on instructions. Some instructions were out of sink with the AWS console.
The course and labs were well organized and performed flawlessly. They made sure that all the information was timely relayed to the students.
Class wentvery well. class base very good. Instructor answered all questions and provided helpful link
The overall learning experience with ExitCertified provided course is excellent.
