Just passed AZ-104 exam. I was expecting that this course would tell most of the things which need to be remembered and which will be asked on the exam. Instead I was completely surprised how superficial the course really was. It covers only basics of Azure cloud, the services related to the exam and some bare minimum to understand what the service does. When the exam asks literally "What kind of encryption is supported to encrypt Azure Storage with customer-managed keys?" or "Which AD role allows users to upload blobs to a storage account with least privilege principle?" and based on this course you are only aware of the existence of customer-managed keys and Azure managed keys, plus basics of AD roles, the things get really frustrating. I wish the course told me that the videos/labs/practical tasks in the course are not enough for preparation, and you need to study additional materials like Exam Readiness course by Microsoft and practice the test questions for the exam, which I did. Now I'll study for AZ-305, and now I realize that I need way more than just the corresponding Udemy course by Kevin Brown.

The instructor is very knowledgeable goes through the topics step by Step in an easy to understand way. However he could resolve some exam type questions after each section than it would have been really excellent

Nice presentation and demo skills. Straight to the point. No boring theory. Immediate demo after presentation. Some lessons content may need refresh as some of Azure UI screens got updated. It will be great if trainer can add a video on Azure-104 certification exam pattern and Questions.

I love the clarity that the instructure provides. Patience and dedicating a set amount of time be that 10-15-30 minutes, each day, helps me complete these courses.

The course was really good instruction on the course material. He's very concise on explanations of aspects of the Azure Administrator certification material. The course is laid out very well for each section main topic covered. The extra material, with the ability to do the labs has been easy to go through & accomplish each one, through the Microsoftlearning.github.io site. The course instructor responded very quickly to a found outdated piece of material.

Very informative! It was not just sticking to the facts in the PPTs, but there were also detailed examples or real-time scenarios associated with each and every concept.

Good material and explanation, but the caption is awful for non English speakers! Too many easy wrong words in this caption

The course is good. I would want more. After each section go through the sample/ model questions expected in exam. The whole purpose is to get certified.
