Reviews

The labs and course material gave me valuable insights into cloud security architecture

Both course material and instructor demonstrated a sound foundation on Maximo material

Very good material, the instructor was clear explaining the topics, and the labs were easy to follow it.

Instructor, Training material & span of the training is neatly planned.

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.
