Easy to work with. Learning material pdfs were able to be printed out in color which was very nice to write on.
The platform is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Great tool for learning
Very good couse and again we would like to see more videos on removing FRUs
ExitCertified gave a great course on AWS that covered all of the basics in depth with good lab materials.
The class and material is good. I think some of the software needs to be updated.
