Our take
Based on the ratings of 827 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in October 2020. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is an AWS Solutions Architect Associate prep course from Joydip Ghosh, first published in 2017. It runs 244 lectures and about 18 hours, and it assumes no AWS background. Most of the time goes to core services: EC2 has 53 lectures, VPC 36, and Auto Scaling and IAM 24 each. The syllabus shows no quizzes or practice tests, even though the description promises over 1,000 questions. About 25,000 students have enrolled. The last update was October 2020, which is old for an exam that keeps changing.
Reviewers are split. The 5-star group, 339 of 827 ratings, calls it easy to follow and useful for beginners who want the basics in simple language. The complaints are consistent, though. Many low-star reviews say the instructor reads slides or AWS documentation aloud, with few worked examples. Others find his accent hard to follow, mention uneven sound, and say the demos move fast. Roughly 150 ratings are one or two stars, and the 3.7 average reflects that gap between happy beginners and people who wanted real teaching.
For a first look at AWS, it works as a cheap, slow introduction. As exam prep on its own it looks thin. There are no practice exams, and the section list has no Lambda, Route 53 or SQS. Anyone serious about passing should pair it with a dedicated practice test set, or pick a newer course with far more recent reviews. Think of it as a gentle walkthrough of EC2, VPC and IAM, not a full study plan.
Pros
- Starts from zero, and reviewers call it easy to follow for AWS newcomers
- Real time on the basics: 53 lectures on EC2 and 36 on VPC
- Also covers IAM, CloudWatch, Beanstalk, RDS and DynamoDB in short lectures
- Many 5-star reviewers say the basics are explained in simple language
Cons
- Many reviewers say the instructor reads slides aloud with few examples
- Accent and uneven sound make some lectures hard to follow
- No quizzes or practice tests, and last updated October 2020
Overall course is good, but instructor is bit slow in narration. Very useful for the AWS solutions architecture prperation
Fits true beginners with no AWS or coding background, as listed. Alone, it is too thin and dated for exam day.
What you will learn
- Able to Pass AWS (Amazon Web Services) Certified Solutions Architect - Associate Exam
- Become Fimilier with different tools of AWS

The way of explanation is very monotonous/boaring...could see spelling mistakes in presentation also.

Nice course.

Copy/paste from AWS docs and just reading text on slides.
Simply go to AWS official docs and read - you will have similar result, but for free.

Topics are not clear and and the person is only reading the PPT not explaining the concepts
By Leonard Schoenborn on 8/15/2019
Instructor's accent is very heavy and therefore difficult to understand at times. He needs to work on speaking more clearly so that each and every word can be understood. This is very technical material and important facts and information cannot be fully understood if the words are not spoken clearly.
By Tombo TOMBOLINI on 8/12/2019
Didn't you have any better speaker ? :(
Very complicated to understand
