Reviews
ExitCertified gave a great course on AWS that covered all of the basics in depth with good lab materials.
Very good couse and again we would like to see more videos on removing FRUs
This was effective way to provide a ton of information in a short time period.
Topics, material and specially instructor (Graham Godfrey) was beyond my expectations.
it was good and very informative. Instructure covered everything in detail.
