Course was great and informative. The instructor had a good flow and was very personable.
ExitCertified provided us with a great opportunity to learn more about React and in easy to follow way.
Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
Labs and the study materials provided for Architecting on AWS course are very easy to understand and explains all the topics required to pass the Associate certification.
Sean is the very good instructor. I would like to take his class again in the future.
