AWS Certified AI Practitioner - Practice Exam #1

Reviews

My experience so far has been great, with good support material, 'straight to the point', and very good energy with my peers and the teachers. I've already finished my first introductory cloud data science course and now I'm starting the path to Cloud Practitioner certification in AWS.

TheCloudWolf founders are knowledgeable and passionate about teaching members all about the Cloud. I like that CloudWolf not only offers educational courses to advance my skills but also has a community with discussion forums to interact with other members and the instructors.

I like how the courses are customised for people pursuing different career path. The comprehensive curriculum, practical approach and interactive community have been instrumental in my data science journey.

For the material provided by Kirill and Hadelin, I can say that they are charging in pennies and paying back in pounds, so you'll get much more than what you are investing here.

CloudWolf provides a clear, well-structured platform with courses organized into concise, 4-minute videos, plus study guides and beginner handbooks. Members can connect through channels or direct messaging, fostering a growing cloud data science community. I’m excited for future courses and resources.
