    Good for learning about the different AWS services in a non-real scenario. AWS Self-Paced Labs can be a bit overwhelming, and it is good to have the opportunity to see how the different services work.

    Offensive Security
    For cybersecurity practitioners interested in advancing their skillset in deeply technical matters, Offensive Security Cybersecurity Courses and Certifications offers some of the most well respected, up to date, technically challenging and comprehensive training courses out there; however, users must be very disciplined, determined and resourceful in order to make the most of the high quality content on offer since good time management is critical and "Try Harder" isn't just a motto for Offensive Security Cybersecurity Courses and Certifications given the content could frustrate some inexperienced users that may be pressed for time and don't have enough drive to spend learning a good amount of possibly unfamiliar but essential content and concepts

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • AWS in general can be a bit overwhelming, as there are so many options that sometimes is difficult to understand when to use each one of the services

    Offensive Security
    • The exams are quite hard to pass and some require a lot of hours to be spent on them which might leave some exhausted
    • Some of the content can be hard to remember since there is a lot of syntax that might be intimidating to users not familiar with something similar from before
    • Perhaps consider more specific, tailored courses rather than courses which cover many topics at once which might not necessarily be within the same niche
    • More human to human interaction could be beneficial to prepare for the exams sometimes

    Offensive Security
    Offensive Security Cybersecurity Courses and Certifications are very comprehensive, regularly kept up to date and, unlike some other courses out there, are quite challenging and technically demanding even for industry colleagues who've been in the field for many years; for this reason, Offensive Security Cybersecurity Courses and Certifications is excellent for your more senior cyber security analysts/engineers as it will enable these technical experts in your organisation to further enhance their knowledge and learn some new tricks that they can then bring back to the workplace to share with the rest of the team
