Very good company. I've done technical trainings at their facility in downtown Montreal in the past and I'Ve always appreciated them.
I was very pleased with the course setup by ExitCertified and the instructor.
Quick to sign-up to course, and was able to garner some information from the course.

This was a good program to get prepared for the solutions architect associate exam.
