Excellent AZ-305 course! The content is well-structured, covers all key Azure Architecture concepts, and explains complex topics in a clear, practical way. The real-world scenarios and exam-focused insights made it much easier to understand design decisions. Highly recommended for anyone preparing for the AZ-305 certification or looking to strengthen their Azure solution architecture skills.

Alan is officially my go-to instructor for Azure certifications on Udemy. Thanks to his outstanding courses, I’ve successfully cleared the AZ-104, AZ-303, AZ-500, and AZ-400 exams. His ability to break down complex cloud concepts into digestible lessons is unmatched. Thank you, Alan, for the incredible content and for helping me level up my career!

An updated rating from me, I passed my test! I'm a first time fail and this class truly made the difference. The way the instructor goes through each product in detail and provided detailed deployment examples really helped. This instructor is amazing at showing things from a development perceptive. The practice questions were a bit rough because of some errors in the answers but combining the curriculum with MeasureUp and Microsoft learn really made the difference. Thank you for helping me pass my cert!

First of all, by the time I took this course, I had approved the AZ-305 exam already, but since Alan is such a great instructor I decided to take the course to reinforce some topics, most courses you will see only the theory, but Alan takes the time to at least show the real thing, even with a simple example, which I think is good. For those in the way to passing the exam, I would say study as much examples questions as possible, but this course will give you a good overview plus real world situations which I think are very valuable. The instructor tends to repeat a few words over and over, so what! I read on a previous review, this as a negative factor, however, english is not his mother tongue That is not really important, the important thing is that he really knows the topics and put clear examples. Excelent trainer. I would like to see Alan doing more courses out of the regular topics, like real world situations and developing solutions with examples, going from level 0 to 100, explaining the entire workflow, from the basics to advanced

It makes me laugh when I read people telling that thanks to this course they passed the AZ exam, well, simply it's impossible, this is a simple tutorial of many Azure services very far from MS requires from you to pass the exam. If you are looking for a quick setup of Azure services with basic features, this course can be useful, if you are looking for pass the exam it's useless, completely inadequate, between 85%-90% of more advanced features from services are not even mentioned. Explanations are not deep, very basics, lot of them without context (quick setups where the author don't explain why does what he does or whatifs). Apart from that, his english, many times totally unintelligble and his continuous lack of proffesionalism when naming resources (vm1, vm2, user1, user2, demo1, demo1) makes this course a waste of time if you are looking for pass the exam. Most of videos start with; 'I briefly want to show you...', and it's true, so briefly that makes the video useless and, again, a waste of time

I passed the AZ 304 exam as well and want to extend my gratitude to Alan, who has put in so much to compile these lectures. The lessons were complementary to my over all learning for the Expert Certification. I use these lectures to even help me as a reference material to solve my work challenges. Alan is very thorough and does not take any short cuts to explain. He goes in depth of every topic required for the examination. I am super impressed. His AZ 303 lectures were very effective in my learning and achieving the certification. Thanks Alan and great Job!

I have successfully completed my AZ 304 afer going through this course. Some of the area where I think there is a need for further improvement is on AD architecture including Hybrid kind of setup and cases where Cloud apps needs connection with On-premise Database with AD also lying on-premise.
By Partha Pratim Mishra on 10/7/2020
This is a perfect course for preparation. Keeping in mind that people taking this course have already taken az 300/ 303, this course goes to the "required" depth and does a huge favor of not talking about the basics but cover the breadth of 'options' and their attributes/ pros-cons. I can only imagine the huge effort that it must have taken to organize the areas into products/ services of AZ. This really helps people to consolidate their understanding under logical umbrellas. This way we can skip the services we understand more and revisit the ones that we don't. Also love the way Alan keeps the content updated and keeps adding new stuff regularly (such as Sentinel). Thank you so much for such a great help in getting me through the certification. This was literally the only course I went through for az301. I had az300 in Feb and all I had to do is to go through these videos 3 times (2nd and 3rd times were only on the areas that I was weak or was not covered on 300). Thanks again. I'd highly recommend this course.

Your way of explaining in detail is really the best I have ever seen. I passed AZ 900 , AZ 300 and AZ 301 exams. Thanks to you for that . Your questions are kind of little different than actual one, but it helps. Your labs are wonderful. Again , Great teachers not only love their subject, but they love to share that joy with students and I felt that from your courses of AZ 900/300/301. My goal was to learn in detail rather than passed the exam, and you are completely very helpful throughout...Thanks for your wonderful dedication to let us learn in such a simplest way!!! Stay Blessed.

Excellent content and the instructor (Alan Rodrigues) has good knowledge on the subject. Explanations have enough details for good understanding. The amount and quality of the practice tests are also invaluable. Suggestion for improvement is the video quality of the demo screens. They are sometimes a bit too small. It would be nice to zoom in and perhaps highlight where the important part of the demo.
