1. Really good courses overall will really help you achieved your goal in AWS!

2. Of the 4 courses I have on AWS on UDEMY, this is the best of them all. This course is packed with details. Great explanation of both concepts and theory followed by walk-through. Good use of visual diagrams, which are white-board drawn in a good visible size. Also mention of tips I found very useful, and good coverage of all the things required. I also found it engaging throughout.

3. Good job done Alan Rodrigues. It is very nice for the people who would like to appear for the exam.

The instructor goes off on tangents at times when explaining certain items. Sure he needs to be thorough, but not too thorough

i have completed and passed Cloud Practitioner; my goal is to get to AWS professional; however i believe going step by step; Associate first

The questions are good, they cover a wide range of topics but I found them too easy. Not sure if we would see actual exams this easy.

Really appreciate how the course material builds up gradually from basics and reviews key concepts in context as they are used later.

Thank you so much for this course. It helped me to achieve cloud practitioner and solution architect associate level exams. Please guide me on further steps. Next I am planning for solution architect professional, please guide me in this path, should I go for developer associate first or directly prepare for solution architect professional certificate?

Alan takes his time to provide clear expectations of the course. Rate of speaking is easy to follow.

better tech for a whiteboard should definitely be used. Also, the video already seems dated - I've done one video so far, and its clear that the aws landing page is old

The questions are either very easy or the options are ambiguous and in real life scenario the incorrect one the author thinks can be quite true.For e.g. the question where the correct option to manage spike in traffic and downtime is marked as redirecting user to a static age is not acceptable for business.The correct option would be to spin up instances.Sending the user to a static site is loss of revenue.There are far to many of them.

The course is ok however it is very outdated. Multiple services are missing which are required for the exam: EventBridge, FSx, AWS Shield, Macie and more

Thanks a lot for this course. I appreciate if you could provide some practice tests so that we will get to know scenarios. Thanks again for teaching students who are keen to learn technologies and keep going with a good work.

The concepts explained by Alan are very clear to understand and his dedication to teach the course is highly appreciable. Alan - Do you teach any other courses also? Please let me know I would like to subscribe to it. Explaining the concept on white board and after that showing a live eg really makes the topic very clear to understand. After attending your sessions I now feel confident to attend the exam. All my doubts are clear now. Many Thanks Alan.

Liked the white board tutorial rather than slide after slide. When people draw you know the exact area that they are discussing.
