Overall Satisfaction with A Cloud Guru (Linux Academy)
Our business had strategic goals which needed us to upskill a lot of employees on emerging technologies and we wanted to do so in an engaging and efficient manner. I was particularly interested in providers with courses which aligned to certifications so that we could give the team qualifications valuable to their careers whilst having a way to give other departments and customers confidence of our capabilities.
- Hands-on labs and cloud playgrounds to learn by trying.
- Really engaging courses with knowledgeable presenters.
- East to track progress of the team and see who may need more encouragement.
- Some courses can reference acquired company resources that I'm not immediately able to find.
- Learning paths were originally limited to very specific areas which didn't suit my business case.
- Licenses are fairly expensive compared to some alternatives.
- Engagement scores around investment in L&D have increased.
- There's excitement around upcoming changes to our technology instead of fear we have seen in the past.
- We feel confident we will be able to deliver these new technologies - although we are at the start of our journey.
Course choice is much smaller than Udemy but the quality feels a lot higher. There's accountability for them being accurate and you can see them being regularly updated. The labs and playgrounds are really useful for getting to grips with technical concepts.
I think the licenses for ACG are more expensive than Udemy was. There's also no material around general professional competencies e.g. time management, meeting planning that you get on a generalist platform.
