ExitCertified class worked well and provided good starting point for Architecting on AWS

I am very satisfied with the course and teacher(Bill), and with the given option I will play with labs more after the class is over. Thank you

The course was well organized, and the labs and class participation helped a lot.

Great training that provided pro-tips a plenty that were immediately put to use.

I had a good experience with ExitCertified. I got a deeper understanding of AWS and should be able to put it to practice immediately.
