Reviews

Great and very intuitive. Better than the traditional hit the wrong button/lose points.

The training was very good to understand the concepts and how to set up things .

The class was very vast paced however the teacher was very good at checking in on us while giving us time to complete the labs.

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

Thank Tech Data for sponsoring this course you really take care of your partners.
