AWS Certified Developer Associate - EXAM REVIEW - 2021 (Udemy.com)

AWS Certified Developer Associate - 6 HOUR Crash Course for the AWS Certification Exam

4.7
429 reviews

Created by: in28Minutes Official

Last updated August 2024

Our take

Based on the ratings of 429 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2024. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a revision course, not a first teach. in28Minutes, led by Ranga Karanam, walks through the Developer Associate syllabus in about six hours across 41 lectures, all in one section. The syllabus shows Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito, S3, DynamoDB, IAM, KMS, SQS, SNS, CloudFormation, SAM, X Ray and more, each in a short pass. It suits people who have already studied and want the gaps filled. About 13,000 students have enrolled, and the audience list says plainly that it is for a quick review.

Reviewers rate it 4.7 from 429 ratings, with 250 five stars and 149 four stars. The praise is consistent: a clear summary that builds confidence before the exam. One student came back after a month away from studying and scored 830, though they paired it with Stephane's course and practice tests. Ranga gets credit for explaining things simply. The complaints are about audio. Volume jumps between loud and quiet, some sentences get cut off at the end, and one reviewer found the accent and fast pace hard to follow. Another had to hunt for the next slide in the download package.

The course was last updated in August 2024, so it is worth checking the current exam guide for anything newer. It is paid, but six hours is a small commitment. Reviewers describe it as a refresher to run through right before the exam. As a sole resource it is too thin, with no quizzes or practice tests. It works best as a cram layer on top of real study, not a foundation.

Best forCandidates who already studied for the Developer Associate and want a fast refresher before test day.
Skip it ifYou need to learn AWS from scratch or want practice tests, since there are no quizzes here.

Pros

  • Covers the whole exam syllabus in about six hours, one short topic at a time
  • Reviewers say it rebuilt their confidence before test day, one scored 830
  • Scenario based explanations help the services stick, per reviewers
  • Instructor explains in a relatable, easy to follow way

Cons

  • Audio volume swings and some sentences get clipped at the end
  • No quizzes or practice tests, so it will not test your recall
  • One reviewer found the accent and fast pace hard to follow
A great refresher course. I had a gap in preparation of 1 month and this course was the perfect way for me to resume and achieve a score of 830.

Listed for all levels, but it assumes prior AWS study and works as a refresher, not an intro.

Content is very good. Really helpful to revise concepts before the exam. However sometimes the voice suddenly becomes too loud and then becomes low. Also, in some sections, the sentence towards the end are cut before completing.

By Bernard Guay on 7/28/2025

It is a very good summary. Sometimes needed to find the next slide in the package but it went well in general.

By Anonymized User on 9/30/2024

A great refresher course. I had a gap in preparation of 1 month and this course was the perfect way for me to resume and achieve a score of 830. Pair it along with the course by Stephane for in-depth understanding and a few test series and you are sure to pass. Thanks a lot for this one, Ranga!

By Vaibhav Mhadgut on 2/20/2024

Nice summary of the most common AWS services. I would say useful to go through it before probably all exams at associate level.

By Jorge Rzezak on 7/20/2022

Excellent summary for preparing before taking the AWS Developers Certified exam. It contains a lot of possible issues that could be included in the exam questions.

By Bharth G on 6/29/2021

I like the - way the Trainer tries to cover the Content in fast track (which helps to refresh topics) before Exam. Especially scenario based questions / solutions is the highlight of this course. Special thanks to Trainer, to come up with such a beautiful course
