The presentations helped me develop a deeper understanding of a subject. The information is a nice combination of [being] well organized and applicable to real life information. The test questions are clearly worded and really make you think (but not crazy unrealistic scenarios). I feel very confident about my ability to perform my job.

Cons

More material on other cloud providers GCP, Azure, Huawei.
Extend the sandboxes to other cloud providers not only AWS.
Include more material for non-technical people, sometimes the sales teams are completely lost in the platform but they would like to learn about it.
