My CDP learning and exam experience
The 3-day instructor led course by Maran and Imran was very good. They had complete understanding on what they were presenting and answering questions during the class. The instruction material including videos, reference material, external links etc., were very useful. The cloud labs are excellent for practicing the concepts we learned. The support by the staff was good, timely and they were very quick to take the inputs and fix any issues with their environment. The exam itself was carefully and intelligently designed to test candidate's complete understating of the concepts and application - very hands on. The evaluation was also done manually to make sure the candidate has understood the challenges and their approach was taken into consideration. The best part is once we are certified, it stays with forever - no need to re-certify! My only issue with the entire CDP experience is the time commitment for the exam - 12 hour exam followed by report creation/submission the next day. I was drained out at the end as I was on the run all week with work and exam on the whole weekend. I was exhausted and needed a couple of days to recover! I thankfully passed the test but hard to even think about retaking the exam. If not for the exam experience, I would have easily given 5 stars.
