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.

The training was good but needed the basic skills of maximo before getting deep in the configuration of it.

Easy to use and exactly what I was looking for. Value for money was exceptional.

The labs and course material gave me valuable insights into cloud security architecture
