Section quizzes go over material that were not covered in the course Slides & documents are not well-designed Concepts and resources are already outdated in some places

Thanks Alan for another comprehensive course on Udemy, earlier I had enrolled for AZ-900 course and that indeed helped me to not only get thru the Azure concepts in-depth but also helped me to get 910/1000 in my main exam.
By Jorge Berrios on 6/6/2022
I was bit worried about exam but Practice tests at the end of course and the labs helped me to understand the exam objective. I took the exam yesterday and passed with 800. Thank you Alan for amazing course. I will also recommend to go through microsoft learning which gives you basic Concepts required to clear exam. All The Best!

Udemy must have a rating of "Master Teacher!" Mr. Rodrigues is a GREAT TEACHER. I enrolled on Cloud Academy and just didn't "feel" the instructors. Time is money, i don't like wasting by spending hours on a course only to find out i'm not making progress. That is hours lost. Unfortunately, because of the 1000s of teachers these days, to find a good one is a full course in itself. I'm very thankful I found this course. I'm taking the exam next week. I will stick with this excellent instructor for DP-203 and the architect certification. Something just "clicks":-)

Hi Alan, Thank you very much for detailed explanation of DP-900. Today I cleared the DP-900 Exam based on your tutorials. By chance in future are you providing PL-300 ( Microsoft Power BI Analyst ) trainings. Eagerly waiting for that one.
By Abhiraj Das on 8/22/2021
Thanks Alan for the Excellent content and Practice set. I managed to Score 900 in the DP-900 and 895 on AZ-900 using your practice set. If you can launch similar course on DP-100 would be really great.
By Aravindmali Ganesan on 8/16/2021
I passed the exam with 87% on the first attempt. Thank you so much. This course is much better than any other course. I bought sample test from Whizlabs for $15. It helped me tremendously with exam questions.
By Kebede, Dereje Shiferaw on 4/13/2021
WOW! Alan Rodrigues is the best of all the instructors that I have ever seen so far! The content, flow, relevance, methodology, everything was beyond my expectation. Well done Alan! You are the true representative of those people who are consistently driven by passion and purpose, not by money or profit!
By Andy Cheung on 3/30/2021
First of all, I haven't yet completed the course. Up till now, I find the explanation of the concepts is clear and concise. However, Alan's seems quite busy, I made two questions on the lecture and he hasn't made a reply yet.
By Deepak Holla on 12/15/2020
Hi Alan, I cleared the DP-900 exam today with a good score. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the great course content and your excellent teaching style. The Labs really helped a lot in remembering many key concepts. The practice tests were very helpful. I am looking forward to taking more of your Azure related advanced courses. Thanks, Deepak Holla.
