Reviews

Exit certified was great as it is very in depth and hands on learning which made it very easy to learn this type of work.

This was a good program to get prepared for the solutions architect associate exam.

The training was great . But i expected some of the Networking concepts would be covered in this certification .

The instructor was thorough and they also provided hands-on demonstrations with labs.

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