    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.

    The Microsoft Hands-on Labs were great for training when working alongside an instructor. They would show things on their screen, and I would work alongside with a real environment. Being able to actually use the environment and interact with it was more preferable than just a straight lecture. It allowed me hands-on practice.

    • Copying and pasting can be clunky
    • Sometimes the instructions are not accurate
    • For some Microsoft tools, it requires you to create a temporary account, which takes some time and is time-consuming
    • Have to remember to save or you will lose your environment
    • May not be the most user-friendly to initially start

    I think Udemy is really superior as a platform, people create super high quality courses that get employees up to speed in days. The platform has a web and mobile app and has taking notes functionality that can be exported

    • I think it has a positive impact in having a platform to train employees
    • I don't think the cost might be worth it given that the content is super dry
