Reviews

This is my second course with ExitCertified. This course exceeded my expectations. The teacher was great and the class was fun.

Although there seemed to be too many links for the course, everything worked smoothly.

Labs and the study materials provided for Architecting on AWS course are very easy to understand and explains all the topics required to pass the Associate certification.

It is very good and very simple instructions. almost to much hand holding.

the course is good, covers many aspects, wish the lab is a little bit more in depth
