We found this company to be really antiquated (ironically) with lots of manual processes and an apparent business model of tying customers into long contracts. They've got clauses in the small print which mean you must give written notice to a specific email well in advance of the contract renewing, otherwise you're tied in for another year. However, that email address bounces. We found that the only way to give notice was to talk to the account manager, but since that call wasn't recorded, they've not accepted that as proof that we wanted to leave. In my view, any company that has sub-par content and yet ties customers in even when they no longer have a use for the product, is a dinosaur and best avoided - especially when there are much more modern training providers out there.

Almost everything is out of date. This is the third year of subscription (Personal Plus) and will be the last one with they. Disapointing!

I spent £290 on Personal Plus subscription only to find old and outdated AWS material. AWS released new exams and the material I found on ACG is outdated and have very less number of services covered. Extremely disappointing on wasting £290.

I've been on ACG for 3 years. My 2022 experience was disappointing. I wasn't satisfied with few course content as the lecturer literally delivers the course by reading terraform official documents, just the way it is, for almost all the time. I've taken several terraform courses with the same lecturer, and my experience remained the same. I submitted feedback several times, but I never heard back from ACG. I think rating and feedback are there for a reason. Please work on feedback and get back to your subscribers. At this point, I feel like you're paying someone for reading documents in a PowerPoint slide, which is boring and doesn't add any value to gaining knowledge. Sadly, I found their focus is more on quantity rather than quality which is quite disappointing. It wasn't this case earlier though. TBH, I don't see value in ACG anymore. I can better get $10 course on Udemy and obviously better service than ACG.

Run, don't walk away from this company. Refuses to contact me regarding an invoice. Nearly three months and all I hear is that someone will get back with me. It is always someone different. Do yourself a favor and save your money.

There are little to no practical examples compared to other certification training providers and it feels like the tutors are not really adding any additional value, they simply read off of the PowerPoint slides. It's like you're bored with hundreds of facts you need to memorize to pass the exam, instead of actually learning something and taking the exam as proof of what you've learned.

I can't even go through a 3 minutes guide successfully. I do a lot of stuff with my network without any network problems, but the moment I login to the site, it takes me almost 30 munities to watch a 3 minutes tutorial because I get network problems "learn.acloud.guru’s DNS address could not be found. Diagnosing the problem." and need to diagnose and refresh the page all the time. The lab is even worse, the one hour time will even expire without me finishing a 15 minute task.

Cr*p outdated content, exceptionally expensive, no trial, no refund. Scam
