Really good lectures. Knows how to deleiver the sectures without using saying a lot of non sense. His Demos too are very good and straigt to the point. Is showes it konw what he is doing and he is a born teacher. Thank you for your great work

simply excellent way to teach, I particularly like the screenshots that was presented to help the learners identify which services are needed for storage objects, explaining the decision tree to navigate through the type of data being stored, and which services are the apt services. SIMPLY SUPER!!
By Rajo Gajic on 6/16/2023
Overall I really liked the way course is created and presented. For some improvement points, I was missing a bit more of CLI commands and examples of them, and also I think that practice test could be improved: - explanations are not that detailed and helpful to learn from them - referring to correct/wrong answers with A,B,C,D is not matching the correct result - some correct answers are a bit confusing and they sound wrong - e.g. in IAM questions it's mentioning that group should be added to the role - but isn't that wrong terminology, since it's not possible to add group to role but it's possible to attach a role to the group (vice versa) ?

I am an avid user of Jose for courses related to databases and machine learning. What I like most about Jose is the delivery of material that is easy to understand, especially for me who is not a native English speaker. This course teaches very fundamental things from GCP, so I believe that taking the Google Cloud Engineer track is the right thing. Thank you Jose for the great course!
By Joseph B. on 9/4/2022
I thought that Jose didn't really go to deep into anything. Touched on the basic topics but no in depth use cases and mainly was an overview. You would have to do a lot of additional studying to pass the class and could probably not do it with this class alone. Also, towards the end really was just summarizing and moving quickly through the topics.
By Sean Aitken on 8/31/2022
Fine for basic underlying cloud and networking concepts. Not recommended as your sole prep for certification exam. Barely scratches the surface of actual google shell commands - a huge part of the information. If you do not use another course you should highly consider reading through the Google Cloud documentation to get acquainted with these topics.
By Purvika Gore on 8/25/2022
Explanation is crisp and to the point and in simple language, understandable to a layman
By Alex O on 8/1/2022
I like the way Jose keeps it simple and is a good course to restudy some concepts, however, I would not recommend it as a stand-alone course to pass the certification as there is a lot of theory and not many hands-on labs. The exam dummy voucher is a useful thing. Overall not a waste of money.
By Gustavo Borges on 7/9/2022
Having already a quite considerable experience with GCP in quite a handful of its products, I wanted to be certified to validate even further my knowledge and experience. And here we are. Love how well explained most of the topics are and it's really helping me fill in some gaps in knowledge I've had while learning and developing my solutions on my own for my organization. Definitely a course that will help me pass the exam and also perform an even better job at my company. You rock, Jose!
By Gerard McGhee on 6/30/2022
the content is very interesting and new to me..I'm really learning something. However the excessive use of text with a voiceover simply reading the text is disappointing. very old unimaginative and discouraging teaching methodology...
