Reviews

I think the platform is very good and look forward to taking my next course in early October.

The exit certified aws course provided a good introduction to the tools available on aws.

I was very pleased with the course setup by ExitCertified and the instructor.

The class and material is good. I think some of the software needs to be updated.

This is my second course with ExitCertified. This course exceeded my expectations. The teacher was great and the class was fun.
