the business examples really help visualise and apply the roles in the real world scenarios. But for practical/labs, one way or the other some assistance to how to purchase lab product, which lab product to buy, or ways to get the hands on experience is very important. Just clicking on a window doesnt really help, as it leaves a key component out, which is experimenting, or self education.

By Luigie Sababan on 8/30/2026

Chris is an engaging instructor. I've tried a couple of training materials, however I alwasy ended up being bored or fell asleep(death by powerpoint stuffs). I'm engaged by the way he teaches, and the phasing is just right for you to keep interested on the topics.

By Carlos Mcgrew on 8/26/2026

Yes I really enjoyed this course!!! I liked the way the instructor explains the video content by giving examples or scenarios to complement the sections and he is very thorough on everything. I highly recommend this course.

By Christopher Gifford on 8/11/2026

Loving the course. Tired of you repeating that we may see different users in your org every single module. Also there is a mistake in the video regarding cloud application administrator. That role can edit all applications; the video says it can only edit apps created by that users. Application Developer can only edit apps that user created or create new ones.

By Jad Beydoun on 8/10/2026

The course conducted by John Christopher was great! One small change I would've liked to have in this course is instead of having the assignments be a web page where you can click to do the tasks to have instead a running Virtual Machine where you can actually do the tasks on your own. Another solution in mind is after finishing the assignments have us write in the textbox what we actually did to complete the assignment and have an AI tool verify our work and let us know if we were successful. This way we will be able to ensure that our hands-on exercises are retained in our memory and make the course more interactive.

By Kimberly Simmons on 8/6/2026

Excellent course! The content was well organized, easy to understand, and packed with practical examples. The role-play exercises really helped reinforce the concepts and made me feel more confident applying what I learned in real-world situations. I highly recommend it to anyone preparing for the SC-300 certification.

By Richard Dennington on 7/30/2026

Great course and John Christopher is an excellent instructor. The course covers a lot of information and the instructor does it very well by keeping things moving, so it's never boring. I would highly recommend this course.

By Sameer Basha S on 7/28/2026

Trainer is very knowledgeable, knows exactly what to deliver for an Management Professional like me. I recommend this course if you are starting from the Zero. Only issue is that a very few videos were recorded from 2024, otherwise, not any big concerns. All the best and Thanks :-)

By Yash Kumar on 7/7/2026

Till now the course goods. The most important things I like this is course is how the educator gives the history + modern architecture view, so we can visualize okay what are the things we have in old days, and what is now replaced.

By Hayden Taylor on 4/30/2026

Great course, thank-you John. Made every topic simple to understand, and connected the dots between different concepts and systems which helps alot. I used this course as my main study material, then completed a practise test and only then referred to the Microsoft learn content to strengthen knowledge (and used chatGPT to help here!). Passed the exam first time - my background In IT is about 2 years in an MSP environment.
