"I loved this training. I've learned a lot and more than the course offered. I have an AWS background but the trainer was very nice with a lot of my questions and any question in general. I had a Azure training a week prior i barely touched anything in azure but during this course i did so much. I loved it! If i could i would give an extremely satisfied value."
