Testimonials

I recently attended the AWS Security Training with edForce and had a great first-hand experience. The trainer Anurag, and facilitator Ashutosh, both delivered the content effectively, ensuring that I thoroughly understood the concepts. The training tools and materials were comprehensive and effective in helping me grasp the content. I am looking forward to attending additional trainings with edForce to continue improving my professional knowledge.

I have attended a session regarding Docker and Kubernetes with edForce. It was a very good experience. In a short duration of session, instructor explained almost every detail about the topics to at least start with that tech stack. I am looking forward for more session with edForce in future.
– Digvijay Singh Parmar

I have attended few AWS sessions conducted by edForce. Trainers have always been knowledgeable, they covered concepts starting from basics of AWS. The presentations of topics are always very good and in nutshell I found the sessions were very helpful. Thanks you!!
