Material generally good, some key topics had the shortest videos. Audio pretty poor. Helped me pass the exam with 96% score

The information is very useful, something to improve is that the audio of the videos is not at the same level for some of them

It seemed a bit too basic but It could be that the exam is this basic too. Nevertheless, good material and good links to the finops foundation website

The study material is fascinating and interesting, but unfortunately the quality of the recording (voice) makes it difficult to hear the study material.

A lot of content presented logically and in bite sized chunks. I wound up having to do it in pieces over almost three weeks and appreciated the fact that you're able to do that.

Zur Vorbereitung auf das Examen ist der frei zugängliche Inhalt auf FinOps.org wesentlich besser. In dem Videos wird primär auf die Quellen der FinOps Foundation verwiesen. Der Ton ist nicht wirklich gut. Einen Stern gibt es für die Demos.

It would have been better if there were more explanations through demos and case studies than running through the ppt for most of the course.

Very difficult to be engaged with some speech nuances from the presenter, i.e. over-excessive usage of "for example" and "basically", and from seemingly repetitive sections (granted, there are a lot of details and information).

Content was pretty good. Instructor needs to work a little bit on less use of filler words, like 'for example', 'basically' and 'of course', as they can become pretty distracting.

Audio is not very good. Getting some static or something from the audio. Continued static on the audio. Instructor use lot of filler words like "Basically", "For example", "again". The consistently takes away from the material.

(1) poor quality audio (2) material & presenter was not engaging (3) too expensive consider the "value" provided

Course goes improving to the end. Well built, contents exposed and developed in an understandable way. Horrible audio for the most part of the course. Anyway, useful and practical training.

Touches upon all requirements of the FOCP exam. This course along with the FinOps.org website is good enough to pass the exam in the first attempt.

Why did you remove the ability to take screenshots? I find myself unable to take effective notes and feel very unhappy about it. It completely ruins the user experience!!
