Exactly what we needed for our organization, at the right time, at the right price. We'll be back!

I thought the material was well-paced and organized, and the instructor made himself available for additional questions and context. Provided real-world examples of underlying concepts

It was great content, some additional exam prep focus would have been nice. I believe everyone in the class has the goal of passing some AWS cert exams.

Very organized and provides a ton of information both in class and for self study. I highly recommend ExitCertified for AWS training.

Gave an in depth introduction to Security Practices on AWS with a lot of practical examples. I do think the labs could be structured so that they are a bit less cut and paste oriented, but I am guessing that they are trying to shorten the amount of time it takes to get through them to include more topics.
