Reviews

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

Good training. A lot to take in for the short amount of time we have though

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.

The exit certified aws course provided a good introduction to the tools available on aws.

the course is good, covers many aspects, wish the lab is a little bit more in depth
