Reviews

ExitCertified was a great. They gave me all the materials and information I needed ahead of time to prepare for the course.

Easy to work with. Learning material pdfs were able to be printed out in color which was very nice to write on.

Great class I learned a great deal from the material. There would seem to a large amount that I need to learn about.

Instructor, Training material & span of the training is neatly planned.

The class covered the concepts needed for the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification.
