Reviews

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

Some Labs are very good but some steps it ask to update but its already updated, but overall its very good training.

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

Overall ExitCertified is a great training provider and the remote learning is as effective as in person.

This was effective way to provide a ton of information in a short time period.
