~AWS RE/START SUCCESS STORIES~
“The AWS re/Start program helped me realize why cloud computing is important. Before enrolling in the program, I thought the cloud is not secure and very costly compared to local data centres but after completing the program it is clear to me that cloud computing is the future. The first Instructor, Mr Wruthuraj, had a lot of knowledge and experience with AWS. We learned a lot from his teachings and he provided us with a lot of helpful examples. Mr Elyes had more knowledge in Programming and during his teachings I had the opportunity to ask a lot of programming questions and he was able to answer them all. The ThinkSmart team have great management skills and were able to manage instructors’ allocation and support students when needed. Overall, I am very happy and satisfied with ThinkSmart and the AWS team for this re/Start course.”

“The AWS re/Start program was very productive, bringing lots of information with in-depth knowledge. All of that came with excellent, extremely professional and knowledgeable trainers that created a very positive learning environment. This training helped me to understand the basics of IT and cloud computing as well as in-depth details about AWS and their cloud services. All of that wouldn't have been possible without the support of AWS and Thinksmart Bahrain.”
