[ExamProChannel]

It's Andrew from ExamPro. Thanks for watching the course and good luck on your exam!

I just wanted to point out a minor production mistake. In the very last section for "Operational Suite" Antoni suggests there is another lesson but actually this is intended to be the final section. So there is nothing missing in this course.

[ghadeershaaya]

I just passed the exam thanks to you. Your course is by far the best one out there for ACE preparation and to get started as GCP Cloud Engineer. I use it everyday as a reference. This one was for free but I am more than willing to pay for your other courses.

[naivedinusaur]

I just passed ACE exam yesterday and I would say that this course is almost the only preparation material I used, supposedly with some free practice tests online and chapter tests in Dan Sullivan book.
Almost 1 months of prep for my first stepping stone in the GCP journey and it actually paid off.
Cannot really find a good word to fully express my appreciation of your making this very extensive course for free. Would definitely check out your other courses !

[madhavmore]

I followed this course. And today passed my exam. Thank you so much for providing this knowledge.

[renascienza.bazarclub]

Make a twenty hours free course was a hell of work, thank you *so much* for that!

[amirkh]

Just passed my ACE exam, this course helped a lot in introducing me to GC and clear doubts.
There are some questions answers course which can be found online.
Exam didn’t have a single question from any of those.
But it came handy to get familiar with it.
My strategy was to go through with this 20 hour video.
Then solve any questionnaire found online in the last two days.
I highly recommend use logics, break down question into many parts, read it multiples times before selecting an answer.

[JasonJones-gsns]

Passed my ACE today! This was a huge part of it. Barely any prior GCP experience.

Watched this through, then again on 2x the week of my exam.

[John_Nash_]

Really helpful! Together with the course, I used 1000 Practice Question from Aldovelio Castremonte to pass the exam! Thank you so much!!

[eseheitor]

I did my exam yesterday and I got a PASS. Thank you so much for this content. It was a great tool to study for the topics in the exam.

[aeronjorge]

Waiting for a GCP course. Thank you for this, ExamPro team!

[bamidelak]

Thank you exampro and Antonitz. I wrote my exams yesterday and I passed. Thank you so much 😊

[kushalpatel]

I passed the exam, and it is all thanks to this course! THANK YOU, Antoni! You not only helped me pass the exam, but your course taught me a lot of the fundamental Network and IT concepts other courses never touch on. It's clear you have a very deep understanding of each and every concept and took the extra step to articulate that understanding for us. You are easily the best teacher from any of these online cloud courses I've done (and I've done a lot!). So again thank you for really going out of your way to explain the fundamentals and details even if they were on the exam. It helped to understand the concepts deeper which helped tremendously when taking the exam.

[kariukiwahome]

What a great course this is. Antoni is such a great teacher. I recommend this course for anyone starting out on Google Cloud. 100%. Thank you Antoni for the free course.

[NOCDIB]

I watched this full course, took the ExamPro practice test and failed, studied the flash cards, made some of my own, took the actual test on Monday, April 15, 2024 and passed. Thank you for this video and your free resources because I wouldn't have passed the exam without them!

[mase_pg]

This is one of the most comprehensive courses on the ACE exam I have come across. Covers everything without going too deep in the weeds. Thank you!

[pineapplpizzzasoju]

Thank you Antoni, I passed my ACE exam today 06/26/23. The contents in this course were still relevant on the day I took the exam.

[grzegorzmichalak]

Really great training. I truly appreciate the fact, that the Author was not only concentrating on the "how to pass an exam" aspect, but also on "how stuff works" ;) Thank you Antoni and Congrats. I really enjoyed your training.
