Super good trainer. He took the time to explain each heading in detail, with examples to back it up. The course is still quite dense, but has the merit of being followed when it is well transcribed, as our trainer did.

Add a pre-certificate preparation course... It's very hard to assimilate at the end. Great responsiveness and relevance from the trainer

The course is very interesting for understanding and getting to know AWS cloud and its services. However, we can't practice or test service creation in order to better assimilate them, which is a shame. Perhaps 2 days would be better to allow us to really practice.
