Reviews

Very good material, the instructor was clear explaining the topics, and the labs were easy to follow it.

ExitCertified gave a great course on AWS that covered all of the basics in depth with good lab materials.

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

This was effective way to provide a ton of information in a short time period.

Instructor was great, course was mostly very good except for too much focus on pricing
