As usual, I alway prefere to go with Frank & Stephane guidance while looking for ML/Gen AI exam preparation. There is no doubt about your hardwork which make us successful. Thank you once again for making such a nice course for preparing Gen AI - Professional exam.
By Joe Pullat on 8/15/2026
For a developer pro course, I was expecting more of hands-on sessions demonstrating when to choose certain options over others. Nevertheless, very neatly structured and concise from the point of view of exam preparation. Edit: Moving forward, i realised that the course is a montage of very old recordings + few videos of Frank kane which are recent because they pertain to Gen AI. Also, this course wont prepare you for identifying the correct answers from very similarly worded and at times technically correct alternate choices provided. For that you need actual hands on experience in AWS AI app/ FM deployment/ or many runs of practice exams tailored closely to mirror the difficulty level of the actual exam.

Overall very good and comprehensive exam preparation. I just passed the exam and yes it was very challenging, harder than most practice exams out there. Unfortunately I have two major points of critique for this course: - The general AWS services videos are quite outdated and out of context for GenAI. I understand that just adding them in instead of rerecording saves a lot of work but unfortunately it has a negative impact. - While I appreciate the practice exams, they were much too easy and the correct answer was almost always the longest answer. Frank I've done all AWS study with yours and Stephane's Udemy courses and this one unfortunately was a bit of a slip in quality. Overall still really good but I hope for the next one you rerecord those several years old videos. Thanks!

Comprehensive, Well-Structured, and Exam-Ready I passed my AWS Certified Generative AI Developer – Professional exam today, and this course was instrumental in my preparation. I want to specifically thank Frank Cane for his outstanding lectures. His ability to break down complex generative AI concepts into digestible, well-organized content made all the difference. The coverage of topics is truly comprehensive — nothing felt rushed or glossed over, and the depth of explanation gave me the confidence I needed walking into the exam. What stood out to me: Thorough topic coverage — every domain on the exam was addressed in meaningful detail Clear, engaging delivery — Frank has a talent for making even the most technical material accessible and engaging Practical focus — the course didn't just teach theory; it connected concepts to real-world implementation patterns Exam readiness — after completing this course, I felt well-prepared and confident on exam day Whether you're an experienced Solutions Architect looking to validate your GenAI skills or someone building expertise in this space, this course delivers. Highly recommended. Thank you, Frank — your dedication to quality content shows in every lecture.
By Deependra Singh on 6/18/2026
An absolute masterpiece of a training program! I used this course alongside their Solutions Architect Professional materials to pass both tough professional exams. Stephane and Frank are the ultimate dream team in AWS education. The way they break down enterprise cloud patterns and complex Generative AI developer concepts—from bedrock orchestration to fine-tuning LLMs—is incredibly precise. Thank you both for your brilliant mentorship and for setting the gold standard for cloud and AI training @Stephane Maarek and @Frank Kane

Another excellent AWS certification preparation course by Stephane Maarek and Frank Kane. This was a long one but had in-depth coverage in many areas relevant to this certification. I'm a big fan of Stephane and Frank and use their courses for my AWS certification preparation.
By Chetan on 4/29/2026
This course is fantastic for learning. However, I recently failed an AWS exam for the first time in 10 years, which was unexpected. The exam felt overly theoretical and time-consuming, with questions that didn't seem aligned with practical knowledge. I was confident going in and genuinely expected to pass, yet scored 730 - just short of the passing mark. AWS certifications should evaluate real-world problem-solving skills rather than being a race against the clock testing theoretical comprehension.
By Tafadzwa Chimbindi on 4/24/2026
I love the content covered here as it gives a balance of theory and real world use cases for GenAI project plus the architecture designs. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to dive deep into GenAI. One area of improvement I would suggest is incorporating more AWS style architectures in the GenAI discussions during lectures to help visual learners understand the concepts.
By Rebecca Dietrich on 4/17/2026
I passed this exam in the first week of the non-beta release. The material is consistent with what is covered in this course. As a golden jacket, I can say that there is always something on the exams I haven't seen before, but overall this material is good coverage for exam prep when combined with practice exams from other resources.
By Sathyavathy S on 4/16/2026
Took this course and it really helped me a lot to understand the exam syllabus specified topics. I have also referred few other practice exam courses (including Stephane) and successfully cleared the certification yesterday. Thanks to Frank and Stephane for this amazing course.
