solutions architect
Good teaching materials and a 65 question trailed test at the end of the course, plus tips over AWS Certifications I took Stephane's AWS Solutions Architect Associate course, and scored a 987/1000 on the exam.
I took the Solutions Architect course by Stephane and passed the exam on my first try.
This course is awesome as are the multiple courses by Stéphane I have taken, with which I have so far passed my Solutions Architect and Developer Associate.
I sat this course after taking the Ultimate Solutions Architect course also run by Stephane, helping me to pass with 94%.
Muy seguido deja de poderse visualizar, el menú se cuadriplica y hay que borrar todo lo descargado, cerrar sesión y volver a entrar I have passed both AWS Certified Developer and AWS Certified Solutions Architect Exams and your videos have been a great help.You are one of the best teacher I have seen.
Just like Solutions Architect, I passed exam on first attempt and this course was at least 85% of my preparation.
I cannot recommend this (and the Developer and Solutions Architect) courses highly enough - whether you are looking to get certified specifically, or just want an excellent, well focused, and relatively comprehensive set of instruction of all the core AWS technologies.
From his other courses, I have become a Certified Developer and Solutions Architect.
Passed my Solutions Architect and Developer thanks to Stephane.

Looking forward to acing the exam !!
Thanks Stephane for putting together the amazing course, Looking forward for Security and Professional exams and enter to Google Cloud Platform.
Just to emphasize for those who are looking forward to take SysOps Exam- 1) Dont ignore the AWS Account Management and Security And Compliance for SysOps chapters (We generally find these bored as we dont have much technical stuff or handon on these :) )There were 3-4 questions only from Account Management.
The course was amazing , i was able to understand topics like cloud formation and route53 very well, which were very hard for me at first.Looking forward now to sit for the main exam soon.
Looking forward to courses from you on AWS professional certifications.
Looking forward to the rest of the class.
Looking forward to the professionals & specialists courses now & incase you would have a course for those in future you can expect me to be one of the first to signup for those.

jon bonso
I believe the associate level questions in the real exam are getting harder and harder, make sure to complete the Jon Bonso's course questions and answers in all the tests with at least 75% score sets the ground for real exam.
This course helped me to prepare for the SysOps exam, I also went through Jon Bonso practice tests to feel more confident.
I have been studying with acloud guru's course which is a general overview (absolutely not enough to pass the exam) + Jon Bonso's mock exam papers.
I've also studied Acloud guru, Linux Academy, Whizlabs, and Jon Bonso (Udemy).

real world
He adds a lot of insight into the main topics covered for the exams but also goes well beyond to demonstrate real world use cases and scenarios.
The course is informative and I learnt a lot in the process on various SysOps-related cloud services :D I have a lot of experience in the real world with vCenter, a fair amount of HyperVisor experience in lab environments, and no experience at all with the AWS environment, so this limited exposure to a real world Amazon environment is extremely helpful Edit - I'm halfway through the course work, and I'm still having a blast.
Very good course, good pace, nice balance of real world tips and exam tips.
Yes, the materials are clear and well document Great course so far Really good hands on real world examples as well as exam topics, all covered.
This course is not teaches how to prepare for the exam but also, how to be a good SysOps in the real world.

too much
I guess I'm expecting too much.
His are the most accurate level of detail (not too much or too little) compared to the others.
However, I'm glad I did some additional practice tests, as this course still isn't sufficient preparation for the exam (there's simply too much you'd need to experience in order to know).
Not too much time spent on stuff we don't need.
Gets to the point quickly without too much extra info.
