Reviews

This course gave me a clearer understanding of the AWS cloud architecture.

They were very good. They made sure everyone was able to get into the training and got all of the material needed for class.

Topics, material and specially instructor (Graham Godfrey) was beyond my expectations.

ExitCertified provided great learning material and the instructor was great.

Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
