The Quiz and Test section could be improved, as some questions lead to incorrect answers. Otherwise, the videos and explanations are good.

By Anonymized User on 2/17/2025

The course is well-structured and engaging. The instructor's enthusiasm and passion for the subject matter kept me motivated throughout the course.

By Anonymized User on 2/16/2025

While the course covered a lot of ground, I would have liked to see more in-depth coverage of some of the more advanced topics.

By Anonymized User on 1/31/2025

I've taken a few other AWS courses before, but this one was by far the best. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, and the course materials were top-notch.

By Anonymized User on 1/14/2025

I am a computer scientist graduate and great to learn something about cloud computing. I am becoming an enthusiast of AWS and enjoying learning step by step.

By Gary W Hassell on 6/26/2023

Taking course again. While the basics were covered, there wasn't enough to cover the exam and some of the questions were inconsistently incorrect/correct during the retake.

By Anonymized User on 1/31/2023

The question questions are incorrect many times over. The content doesn't match the exam questions very well. Overall, pretty disappointed in this content and surprised the ratings are as high as they are

By Komal Dalwadi on 2/11/2021

It was a great experience to learn about AWS Cloud Computing Services and the Reliable Technology backing for the Services. I am very happy to learn so many things. Thanks to the Tutor for an easiest way of teaching.

By Jose Darwin Rabacio on 6/21/2020

The course has been very interesting and a lot of topics were tackled. I learned so many things about AWS. Great experience.

By Tejas Shahu on 4/28/2020

Nicely explained Theoretical knowledge. But I think it could have been done more better than this by including some more AWS services examples.
