Some of the content are outdated, i.e. Azure VM Disk Encryption and Caching where it was said that you can only do it in Powershell. Whereas these capabilities are already available on the Portal. Also, comparing it with the Microsoft study guide online, some of the sections are missing out a few key items with respect to scope. A bit disappointed as Skylines has not made much effort in keeping this course aligned with Exam content.

No big surprise as I am using the program already. I decided to take the course because I need certification. All is good thus far. Added update: I a bit worried that the exams will be difficult as this course will need hard work maybe cramming as well for one to pass it. I don't l now if the lecturer can suggest better ways to study especially this one.

This is a good resource, but it could use more detail and examples. It does give you general knowledge. It's not enough to pass the exam.

Nick covered all topics in detail, sometimes beyond the limited scope of the exam. Another course I am so satisfied and feel I learnt something new. Thank you!

First off, this is great way to consolidate what I've picked up from Microsoft's own course material for Az-500. Nick Colyer clearly knows his stuff and the subject matter is covered in-depth and is well-structured. One thing that prevents me rating this more highly is the fact that a fair amount of the material is out-of-date. I have just completed the Security Centre material - this has been superseded by Defender for Cloud which has a substantially different look-and-feel. Because of similar experiences in previous modules I have ended up having to effectively take a lot of what is said with a pinch of salt. I suppose in a way this is good for me in that it forces me to double-check everything in my own Azure portal and read Microsoft's current documentation - but I don't think it would be a bad idea to bring this course material up to date!

So far, very good overview, thank you! Presentation is clear and structured, again very good! I would appreciate the slides to be added to the Resources, though.

The course was delivered well in a clear and consice tone. the trainer knows the subject matter well, its a little outdated now since it was done in 2018/2019 and there are a ton of slides missing from the given set compared to the instructors set.

Great Content for learning, totally worth it. Instructor talked about Service Principles couple of times and mentioned it is covered but there were no video for that.

Presenter is easy to follow and this course is a great resource for AZ-500. However the course is showing it's age and needing updates and additional resources are required to pass the exam.

The course is more like a Demo sales on what's offering in Azure, It's well explained, however It doesn't contain any plus, must of the examples are already setup and if you aren't familiar with Azure screens or you have a free account, few of the demos you won't be able to execute.

Good teaching style and visuals. It hasn't been updated in a year and it's missing a lot of exam content. There are no quizzes or practice tests included. There are better courses for this exam.

The Course videos are great, everything is explained concisely. My issue is that i can not seem to access resources, the study notes are important for me and i cannot download them. *update* I Contacted Skyline Academy direct and they got back to me with a resolution... simple really it was there all along!! Excellent course.

The course is in general good but it’s not tailored for az-500 exam objectives- the trainer often mixes referencing other exams instead of az-500- there is a lot material not relevant for the az-500 but is a good course for the generalised non exam specific study. I have done another course with skylines for the AWS practioner and it’s awesome. This one is a little disappointing am afraid. Thank you

Thank you for the well organized content. I am struggling with this exam because I don't routinely work in this field. I'm getting ready for the exam and this course is really helping highlight areas that I need to review and work in prior to the exam,.
