ExitCertified gave a great course on AWS that covered all of the basics in depth with good lab materials.

The format of the class was concise. I learned new skills to use at my workplace.

this class was informative, made me think about certifying for the suse manager cert.

Very good company. I've done technical trainings at their facility in downtown Montreal in the past and I'Ve always appreciated them.

The class and material is good. I think some of the software needs to be updated.
