A Cloud GuruReviews of acloudguru.com

The first couple of courses were great AWS Solutions Architect and AWS Developer but since then pretty terrible. The AWS AppSync course was bad and the AWS Alexa Skill Builder was probably the worst course I've ever taken. They craft one huge app, write some PowerPoint from the docs and then just read it all to you. Unless you have a photographic memory you won't retain much because the learning experience is so badly executed.

although I used acloudguru to pass the aws cloud practitioner, I can not recommend. The presenter usually just reads word for word off the slide, with no real world use case or explanation. I am now going through the associate solution architect course (AWS) and it is proving very difficult as there is no real explanation, just reading off the side. I expected much more. Very disappointed.

Impossible to do labs for an AWS training. The environments provided don't allow you to to labs wich is very frustrating. Old Linux academy was very good at that but for that part, Cloud Guru is a peice of crap !!!!!

AZ-301 - The material is never explained from a problem statement perspective, or real use case. It always starts with Click Here -> New -> Type ABC -> Click OK. Done. Next module 2. The narrator has the most monotonous voice in the world. I find official sources from "microsoft learn" a diamond in comparison to acloudguru. The material from microsoft always starts with a context problem "As a XXX, suppose you need to YYYY, and you have ZZZZ, you've heard about ABC but you're not sure. ". I suggest these guys follow the example

Terrible! Most of the courses on here are well out of date... Not worth the money at all, I would advise everyone to stay away.

I have used acloud guru almost daily since about September 2018. I have mixed experience overall. The first course I took, AWS CCP, was excellent. I felt well prepared and passed the AWS CCP exam. However, the AWS Big Data specialty course is way out of date and felt significantly lower quality then the first course I took. The labs were very few and almost useless. No exam comprehensive practice test to enhance learning and build the experience and stamina of answering questions quickly for the exam. Very few lecture quizzes with existing quizzes being very small. I have no doubt in technical knowledge and experience of the instructor, but his ability to present, engage, explain is somewhat poor and low quality. I had to replay parts of lectures many times trying to understand the instructor's words and intonation. After completing the course, I feel that I need a different course. Those who are well experienced with AWS Big Data stack, MIGHT be ok and could use this course as a refresher. Those who have just some familiarity with AWS Big Data stack should steer away from acloud guru.

I'm writing this in March 2018 and the Cloud Guru Solution Architect Associate course is hopelessly out of date, isn't comprehensive enough, covers only around 60% of what is needed to pass comfortably, probably 50-55% if you want to pass with a very high mark. Practice exams are useless. No responses on the messaging boards. Avoid.

Passed my AWS Solution Architect course. Some videos were filmed in 2015 but that was ok because newer videos were updated as required. However dropped a point for their AWS cloud formation course. I thought that was poorly filmed
