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.)
They are very good and made sure we had all the appropriate materials for class.
The exit certified aws course provided a good introduction to the tools available on aws.
This is my second course with ExitCertified. This course exceeded my expectations. The teacher was great and the class was fun.
Great instructor, clear and concise course. Labs were easy to follow and worked perfectly.
