Reviews

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

Sean is the very good instructor. I would like to take his class again in the future.

Very good company. I've done technical trainings at their facility in downtown Montreal in the past and I'Ve always appreciated them.

great class and packed with material, would have lived to spread it more into many days but overall very informative.

The class covered the concepts needed for the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification.
