I passed my AWS Practitioner exam first time and I have this course to thank for that. My advice is do the extra reading in the resources sections and look around the AWS site for the Labs and do all of the Free Tier ones (the others will cost you something, so delete immediately after completing... also practice pricing by working out how much before hand)

Thanks to AWS and the instructors for the brilliant delivery of the course and the materials. Good luck to anyone taking this course, you won't regret it.

Content was presented in a fun way and I just successfully passed my CCP Certification!

However, I do recommend reading the AWS Whitepapers and some of the additional resources, because the CCP exam is considerably harder than the quizzes in this course.

Very solid intro to AWS. I'm heading into the data science field and AWS Sagemaker got my attention, however, I had no prior experience with AWS so decided to find an intro to the platform before signing up and happy I found this course.

The instructors are very engaging. Overall I think this course provides a great launching pad for most tech-savvy business users. Had not realized just how vast of a platform AWS is, so this course does a good job at giving you a lay of the land. If you're looking to then become an AWS expert, or be more IT-focused, then you'll 110% need to do follow-up courses.

Pro tip: Bookmark the parts of AWS you find the most interesting as a ton are on the free tier. I already have so many ideas for machine learning projects and can't wait to dig into all the different ways to tackle various real-world problems.

Very good overview of the entire AWS, but also about Cloud business model in general. Some topics are a bit too basic for me, but it does not matter - overview is really good.

Although I found the information in this course informative, I feel like it barely scratches the surface. If you're taking this course in hopes of passing the CCP exam look elsewhere. Once I finished this course and started taking practice exams on sites like Tutorialsdojo, Udemy I found myself failing everyone. Why might you ask? Again because this course barely scratches the surface. I was taking the practice exams and felt like I was being tested on everything I didn't learn.

Very Good Course for Beginners, explaining AWS cloud and related journey. Even though the course can be completed in 3-4 days, request & suggest to at least give 2-3 weeks with revision for better learning and outcomes. Thanks AWS & Coursera.

First of all i would like to appreciate the instructors for their for their effort to come up with the concept of explaining the AWS services and components with Coffee shop analogy and secondly, the animators, did the great job of bringing the instructors intention into visualization and of course the creativity of explaining some of the concepts using WWF way. Loved it :)

I don't know if this course is sufficient for knowing the concepts and fundementals neceassary to start preparing for AWS cloud practitioner exam but i really enjoyed learning learning this course. Time flew by like one would watch a movie.

I definitely recommend.
