Waste of time

Waste of time Course application crashed repeatedly I never was able to get anything to work Even the feedback form crashed

Don t make a spelling error in your labs

My account was blocked on more than one occasion for not following the lab instructions 1 I changed resource type of a compute instance because there was no availability of that resource in the zone This is somewhat understandable because it incurred more cost for the ONE HOUR that the VM would be turned on This one I recieved a warning for and immediately stopped They still blocked me account I also lost 2 credits due to this unavailability They were gracious enough to unblock my account and return my credits 2 I accidentally chose the wrong network zone east1 vs east2 or soemthing like that in the drop down menu All they could tell me was my account was flagged by their automated system as malicious because of this Fortunately they reinstated my account 3 I had a typo in a VM instance template When I discovered that I deleted the template and started over Unfortunately a VM had already been created so my account was blacked again for that as well These are all very simple mistakes that anyone could make To have your account disabled and be unable to use 500 credits that were paid for due to a spelling error is just inconceivable

at first it looks like a good idea But

At first it seems a good idea learning and experimenting Cloud stuff at your own pace with a fix amount of money But after testing 3 weeks i will quit it s just another NO GOOD EXPERIENCE AND NO EDUCATIONAL VALUE WEBSITE I spend 55US and a lot of time waiting for resources to be ready or trying to figure what was wrong with some of their labs 2 quests completed 39 labs taken in about 3 weeks and i will leave because i am just plain disappointed No real pedagogy most experience is a click paste stuff with an added counter that make you loose all your work when 30min are gone some of the LABS just don t work some of the stuff written is obsolete material Oh did I mention that they keep your credit card information Yeap no way to erase it even thought this is illegal here in Europe I love to learn new things and really love IT material But I had a really poor this experience here Run away from this website as fast as you can

Inconsistent and incorrect material

Inconsistent and incorrect material very pooryou get a quest and a learning path to follow then on the final evaluation they evaluate on pieces they haven t included on the learning path wasted a day

Qwiklabs a fraudulent organisation

Qwiklabs seems to be a fraudulent organization I am not sure how this totally rougue organization is related to Google but Google must take steps to remove any affiliation to this institute I started to do a course in Qwiklabs and even registered for paid service after monthly free period is over I was following the course until suddenly my account was blocked and I was told there is suspicious activity in my account I reported to their customer service but after 17 followups they said my account will be permanently blocked and my details cannot be removed from their systems This includes credit card details Don t go anywhere near this organization You will be totally frustrated and potentially harmed with this fraudulent organisation

Error Prone GCP Labs

Tried to complete two early stage Google GCP labs In each attempt I was instructed to select a resource that was not available The system displayed an error advising that I try again later and I was unable to proceed with the lab This happened multiple times with the first lab Out of frustration I decided to select another option setting that actually worked I then received a warning to avoid deviating from lab instructions or my access would be revoked locked and the system abruptly terminated my lab session When I explained the problem to Quiklabs support the agent just reiterated the warning message and offered no solution to unavailable resources that I was instructed to use I really tried to use their service but it added an avoidable level of stress that made learning quite difficult I canceled my subscription and cannot recommend this service

Quicklab is not fit for purpose

Quickbab is not fit for purpose The Service product should not have been made commercially live The product is poor and support is pathetic The product needs more testing as well as a support model which assures users I lost my credits as well as training days to do this training but stuck because of the pathetic Lab design
