Really solid content. Some of the best explanations I’ve found anywhere. The YouTube video supplements are a nice touch too.
I passed my certification exam on the first attempt thanks to this course. The practice questions and exam strategies were spot on.
I’ve taken courses on Udemy, Coursera, and A Cloud Guru. This one has the most depth for the price. The exercises are genuinely challenging.
