Reviews
Great class I learned a great deal from the material. There would seem to a large amount that I need to learn about.
It is very good and very simple instructions. almost to much hand holding.
Good training material and good instruction. More time needs to be provided for the lab work.
ExitCertified gave a great course on AWS that covered all of the basics in depth with good lab materials.
Overall it was a good bootcamp. A lot to cover so it is understandable that the pace had to be a little fast.
