You do a great job keeping your partners informed of learning opportunities. Greatly appreciated!
The courses are taught by experienced IT people with good advice in addition to the course materials.
Instructions were clear, lab exercises were pertinent and self-explanatory, topic was thoroughly covered in the presented course material.
This was an excellent class to get me up to speed quickly on AWS solution Architect concepts.
Great course, though jam packed with information. Learned so much my head hurts.
