"Best way to learn all the details you need to effectively use AWS"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Training and Certification?

These labs are detailed. They may not branch off and tell you EVERYTHING about a product or relationship between products but after you do enough of them you see the same products and steps in AWS reveal themselves and this labs system guides your learning enough to make sure you dont waste your time googling everything everywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Training and Certification?

The cost can get steep for more advanced work. Time limits on instances and run times for the labs can in some cases be too short if you are too slow to learn what is explained as the lab progresses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Training and Certification:

Make sure you don't bite off more than you can chew right away as doing so may put you in a situation where you are paying for a class and AWS credits you aren't capable of finishing in time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Training and Certification solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using this to keep sharpening my skills for cloud development at my organization. Working with multiple start-up clients means being cloud first capable can make the difference between future scaling success or overnight blow up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Many Subjects Offered"

4/5

What do you like best about AWS Training and Certification?

The availability of these labs are a very good way to get your feet wet and start learning almost any of the AWS services you desire. I like that they are usually easy to follow and does not cost much to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Training and Certification?

Some of the labs are pretty basic and may leave you with many more questions. Sometimes a way to dive deeper as an option would be a good way to handle this. The cost can add up especially when you have many team members in training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Training and Certification:

Pay attention to the number of credits per class to keep control of your costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Training and Certification solving and how is that benefiting you?

When we want to consider an AWS service we've never use, usually go to the the labs to get some live experience using the service. Some things like setting up Kubernettes or discovering Dynamo DB as an alternative to MongoDB has been used with this approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hands on way to learn "

5/5

Great way to get hands on experience and learn AWS concepts which go a long way in real world environment rather than just listening to bunch of lectures with lil or no hands on labs . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are quiet a few products I would have loved to see labs to learn them in-depth which will come with time I believe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Training and Certification:

Create more Labs for Cross IAM policy , VPC peering etc which is where most folks have trouble learning and applying the concepts to real world issues.

Also a lot of labs need quiet a few pages to be read if there is provision to listen to what is directed would make the labs more interesting . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very good hands on labs to understand the tool"

4/5

What do you like best about AWS Training and Certification?

The labs are really good. I took them as part of my learning for the aws certification. Using the labs I cleared developer associate and cloud practitioner. Helped me greatly in learning the tools and also helped in few use cases like implementation of Redshift spectrum etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Training and Certification?

The content should be updated with the new services that are being launched. Overall its good but just need few updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Training and Certification solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cleared my two certification exams and the labs helped in learning the practical aspects of the vast aws platform. There are many courses which teach you theory but unless you do the practical it will not make sense. And the labs comes from the AWS itself so its fully validated and trusted.
