This is my second course with ExitCertified. This course exceeded my expectations. The teacher was great and the class was fun.
Very interactive and in-depth course that really got me ready for the industry
Labs and the study materials provided for Architecting on AWS course are very easy to understand and explains all the topics required to pass the Associate certification.
Course trainer was excellent, content was well organized. However, labs should be instructor lead versus on your own. Much time is wasted for newbees in getting acclimated to tool set, AWS environment, navigating and setting up things to complete tasks. This was my third class and I was barely able to finish most of the labs. (The first 2 classes I only finished one lab exercise for the 2 together.)
Good Course. We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time. This course had useful labs that built upon each other.
