Reviews

The technical data in the AWS Solutions Architect course was very thorough.

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

I registered a day before class and am happy that I received all the materials and links in time for the class. Thanks.

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.

Course was great and the instructor had an answer for anything that was asked during the course.
