Testimonials

This is a good introductory programme to Cloud, where cloud jargons are well explained even for officers who have no knowledge of cloud. 

There were live drawings provided during the programme which were useful in providing good explanations and illustration on the concepts taught.

The facilitator was quite engaging and it's useful for me. It's good to understand on the overall knowledge on AWS.
