Hi, my name's Neal. I am the founder of Digital Cloud Training, a highly experienced AWS Cloud Solutions Architect and a successful IT instructor. I've been working in IT for over 20 years in a variety of roles ranging from support to architecture. Over the last 15 years, I have mainly worked as a Solutions Architect in the systems integration space designing solutions for enterprise organizations.
My experience in IT has included working with virtualization and cloud computing since it's inception. In my most recent consulting role I worked as an Enterprise Architect designing Hybrid IT and Digital Transformation solutions.
I have always enjoyed earning IT certifications and they have helped me immensely with moving upwards throughout my career. These days, my passion is to help others to achieve their career goals through in-depth AWS certification training resources.
That's why I started digitalcloud.training - to provide certification training resources for Amazon Web Services (AWS) certifications that represent a higher quality standard than is otherwise available in the market.

The man explains in a very good language, a proper speed of speaking, presents diagrams (the best) to allow you understand the big picture first, then takes you to HOL to connect the dots in your mind, also exam cram and the slides help a lot in making information close to your mind after a section completion. Whether you would like to take an exam or have experience with AWS to advance your position in your company, here is a very good place to start. Thanks Nael.
By João Vitor Pereira Pinto on 7/14/2026
Excellent course! Neal explains things very well, at a good pace. The slides are great for following along and reviewing later—they are very illustrative. And the hands-on lessons help consolidate the material and see the theoretical concepts put into practice. So far, great experience. Absolutely recommend.
By ALILICHE FARES on 4/25/2026
I'm reaching the S3 section course has nice details just one note is that avoid organization lab that will cause aws to upgrade you automatically to paid plan and lose your free tier plan. I would have loved that neal tells us this to avoid losing our credits and avoid unnecessary pressure from billing while learning.
By Issa Puppi Chmaitelli on 4/2/2026
Hands on labs are helpful, instruction and resources are great, but some of the content is starting to show it's age. Could do with a content refresh. Had to do a bit of fact checking over the course of my studies to find current more up to date information and resources. Overall content is good and easy to follow.
By Taoge Gao on 3/27/2026
Leaving a review after I just passed by exam. Overall a good course but it's not completely comprehensive as it lacks some materials that the exam may test you on (e.g. FSx for NetApp, OpenZFS, PrivateLink, AWS Batch, some less common ML services). But I do recommend the practice exams which you can further research these topics on to get a high level understanding of them.

Recommended by A 20 year' experienced Solution Architect professionally he is a top architect consultant now, he highly recommended, Neal Davis training, I started and I feel, it is well structured and most of the aspects are covered so well, I am sys ops AWS admin certified, as an upskill this course is helping me a lot.
By Gordon Skidds on 2/11/2026
going rather fast, but rewinding and stopping so I can absorb the info has helped. The material is pretty up to date, although things like t2.micro in free have become t3.micro (no t2 in dropdown exists now). and slightly different web displays on the dashboards - one of the reasons to have to stop and review and match up
By Suhail Wani on 1/27/2026
This course helps you gain a very thorough understanding of the services and architecture design choices on AWS. I was able to pass the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certification yesterday and a lot of credit goes to this course. Thank you!
By Sakthivel Raja on 12/30/2025
I successfully completed the AWS Solution Architect course and cleared the certification exam. The course was very well structured and covered all the important concepts in depth, including architecture design, security, networking, and cost optimization. The practical explanations and real-world scenarios helped me understand the services clearly and gain confidence for the exam. Thank you for providing such valuable guidance and support throughout the learning journey.
By Djawad Mamedov on 12/9/2025
I need 15–20 minutes for some 3–4 minute sections because I have to google the information myself or ask ChatGPT to explain it to me. Sometimes abbreviations are used that are never explained in the course. The same goes for references to things that were never mentioned. The slides are also not always up to date with the new AWS interface. The course is okay overall. But unfortunately only 3 stars. The other 2 stars go to Google and ChatGPT — without them I would have returned the course with one star long ago. :-)
By Travis Adams on 11/21/2020
Neal is a great instructor. I appreciate how he presents the lessons. Each lesson is built upon the previous. It's not just a brain dump.
