Reviews

ExitCertified provided a very organized way to learn and provided materials to follow along.

Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.

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

I think the platform is very good and look forward to taking my next course in early October.

ExitCertified provided great learning material and the instructor was great.
