Reviews
Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
This was a good program to get prepared for the solutions architect associate exam.
my experince was great from the day i regetered to the actuall day of the class.
Overall it was a good bootcamp. A lot to cover so it is understandable that the pace had to be a little fast.
Course was thorough and gave a very solid grounding in the tools advertised.
