Course material is good, trainer is good. Suggest to review course coverage vis-a-vis the training timeline. For this one it seems coverage is more for 2 days.
I loved the class from ExitCertified, the Instructor Sean Mohseni explained the concepts in a very clear manner with real world example that helped me understand the AWS Services in depth.
The course and labs were well organized and performed flawlessly. They made sure that all the information was timely relayed to the students.
I learned many new topics in this training and labs also very interesting to do.
Good class and great instructor that took time to answer questions and available during lab times.
