Strengths and watch-outs

Strengths

  • One membership covers the AWS and Azure catalog rather than paying per exam
  • PDF training notes, cheat sheets and an exam cram section for last-minute review
  • Practice exams with explanations of the correct answers
  • Hands-on labs for Azure and AWS

Watch out for

  • Sales on digitalcloud.training are final, so there is no refund if the product is not what you expected
  • The membership auto-renews, so cancel before the renewal date
  • Membership value depends on using more than one course; a single-exam candidate may do just as well buying one Udemy course

What learners say

Courses and exam simulators praised

A May 2026 Trustpilot reviewer calls the courses well structured with good exam-domain coverage, and the exam simulators well put together with clear explanations.

A lab complaint and a refused refund

An October 2026 Trustpilot reviewer bought the Azure labs and found incorrect instructions and a poor interface. Their refund request was refused.

Used alongside other providers

An r/AWSCertifications poster who passed the Security Specialty used Stephane Maarek, Adrian Cantrill and Tutorials Dojo, then scored 80 on Neal Davis's practice test and watched his exam cram section the morning of the exam, which they say saved a few questions.

Course plus practice exam

AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional SAP-C02

4.7(7.6k ratings)

Great fit if you want a course and a practice exam in one purchase

Poor fit if you want to build the designs yourself in AWS; choose Cantrill

Randomized timed tests

AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional Practice Exam

Six timed sets of 35 questions, randomized on every attempt, with explanations that link to Digital Cloud Training's notes. A 2025 passer found the questions shorter and more ambiguous than Tutorials Dojo's.

Great fit if you want a second bank with different wording and reference notes after Tutorials Dojo.

Poor fit if you want long, detailed scenarios like the real exam; use the Official Practice Exam and Tutorials Dojo first.

Generally no. On-demand purchases on digitalcloud.training are final. EU buyers have a 14-day right that ends once you start streaming or downloading, and bootcamps can be refunded within 7 days minus a $100 fee. Udemy purchases use Udemy's 30-day policy.

Do I need the membership or can I just buy one Udemy course?
