Reviews

This course gave me a clearer understanding of the AWS cloud architecture.

I thought the course was informative and the tools to go over the material were very nice.

Great oppportunity for me to get training on the software during my work day.

Although there seemed to be too many links for the course, everything worked smoothly.

They were very good. They made sure everyone was able to get into the training and got all of the material needed for class.
