"Very impressed with the dedication from the instructor and how well structured the sessions are. The course is very intense since it's only 3 days long, however, the quality of the training makes it worthwhile. I'd recommend going in person since you will find it much easier to focus and likely get more out of the course overall."

Olawale Abdullahi, BPP University. (31/7/2023 (Monday) to 1/8/2023 (Tuesday))
"The trainer provided excellent delivery and commitment to enabling me to understand the AWS platform, services and how they interact with each other. the topics where discussed in great depth with live demos and real world analogies and examples to help embed the knowledge rather than just reading from a slide deck. the course is extremely intense but the way the content delivery was structured with a mix of slides, live demos, labs and open classroom discussions helped enable me to gain a great insight into the AWS platform."
