Reviews

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.

Easy to work with. Learning material pdfs were able to be printed out in color which was very nice to write on.

Overall it was a good bootcamp. A lot to cover so it is understandable that the pace had to be a little fast.

You get detailed labs to guide you through the technical material giving you a hands on method of learning otherwise difficult material.

the interface was super easy to use and the instructions to get ready for the course was also very simple and easy to understand.
