Amazon Web Services (AWS) Certified - 5 Certifications! (Udemy.com)

AWS Certified (AI & Cloud Practitioner, Solutions Architect, Developer, SysOps Administrator Associate)

4.5
25,429 reviews

Created by: BackSpace Academy

Last updated September 2025

Our take

Based on the ratings of 25,429 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a bundle from BackSpace Academy, with Paul Coady listed as co-instructor. It packs six sections into about 54 hours and 218 lectures. There is a Cloud Practitioner section, a newer AI Practitioner section, a shared Associate core, and then final preparation for Developer, Solutions Architect and SysOps. The Associate exams overlap a lot, so putting them in one course makes sense. It suits people who want a single path through several AWS certifications and are happy to learn from a trainer who explains concepts first, then sends them to the console.

Most of the 25,429 ratings are positive: 13,483 five-star and 8,946 four-star. Reviewers say it covers a lot and over-prepares them for the exams. One reports passing Cloud Practitioner with 929 out of 1000 using only this course, though another says the AWS whitepapers were still needed. The complaints are fairly consistent. Console screens have changed, Cloud9 is no longer free, and one reviewer says the lab resources still point at the old SAA-C01 exam. Individual reviewers also say basics like CDNs get skimmed, the accent can be hard to follow, and the pace feels slow.

The last update was September 2025. The description promises monthly refreshes, yet reviewers from late 2025 and 2026 still hit stale screens. The concepts hold up, but expect to pause and hunt for buttons in some labs. Treat it as a solid foundation and pair it with fresh practice questions and the current exam guide. It is a good fit for Cloud Practitioner and as a base for the Associates, and a weaker pick if you want click-for-click labs.

Best forPeople who want one purchase covering Cloud Practitioner plus the three Associate exams, with labs to follow along.
Skip it ifYou need labs that match today's AWS console, or you want one exam covered in real depth with a modern interface.

Pros

  • Five certifications in one course, so the overlapping Associate material is taught once
  • Reviewers say it over-prepares them for the exams, and one passed Cloud Practitioner on it alone
  • Real labs with Lambda, Cognito, X-Ray, SQS and SNS code, not just slides
  • Includes practice quizzes for each main section and full-length practice exams

Cons

  • Many labs use old console layouts, and one reviewer says a lab could not be completed
  • Some basics like CDNs and hypervisors get skimmed, so beginners may need to look things up
  • One reviewer finds the pace slow, and another says the accent is hard to follow at times
Covers a lot. It over prepares you which is not a bad thing. If you UNDERSTAND (emphasis on understand) what he is teaching, you should do well on the exams.

Labeled All Levels, but it assumes basic networking and an AWS account, so total beginners will pause often for terms.

The course is useful, but it hasn’t been updated to reflect AWS in 2025. For example, Cloud9 is no longer free as suggested in the course. In addition, many AWS services have changed their UI and navigation, making it difficult—or sometimes impossible—to locate the tools and sections referenced in the lessons.

By Adedapo Adeniyi on 12/5/2021

Covers a lot. It over prepares you which is not a bad thing. If you UNDERSTAND (emphasis on understand) what he is teaching, you should do well on the exams. Of course, try your hands on practice questions too before the exam.

By Victor Albert on 5/13/2021

By Matthew Osgood on 12/27/2020

The screens shown for creating a Bucket were completely different. Obviously Amazon has updated the process - all of the screens he clicked through were shown on a single screen for me. The options were the same, but were all combined.

By Tyrone Roberts Sr on 12/20/2020

Yes, the instructor is clear and very knowledgeable. Delivers subject matter superbly.

By Stephen Hess on 12/20/2020

Navigation and screen selections to complete the lab have changed(UI). Not to difficult to find the corrects inputs and translate to successful lab completion. Good material and presentation.

By Carlos Olson on 12/20/2020
