Reviews
ExitCertified provided a very organized way to learn and provided materials to follow along.
Great and very intuitive. Better than the traditional hit the wrong button/lose points.
Easy to work with. Learning material pdfs were able to be printed out in color which was very nice to write on.
The technical data in the AWS Solutions Architect course was very thorough.
Great class I learned a great deal from the material. There would seem to a large amount that I need to learn about.
