Fantastic and great training. Tons of hands-on labs to really make you understand the material being thought.
This was a good program to get prepared for the solutions architect associate exam.
Very clean, great cafeteria and well sorted, very kind staff. The bathrooms have to be expanded as they might get crowded sometimes
great class and packed with material, would have lived to spread it more into many days but overall very informative.
The instructor really took his time and made sure I was able to understand the concepts.
