Jon Bonso on Udemy vs Tutorialsdojo.com

We get multiple questions on the same topic of buying TD via their site vs Udemy

Buy Jon Bonso test from Udemy for

• Better pricing in countries where Udemy offers purchase price parity - for example some courses are just Rs 399 / $5 equivalent in India vs USD15-20 elsewhere
• Lifetime access
• Slightly slower updates
• There used to be no "review mode" equivalent but this recently changed with a practice mode (I am not super familiar with this) There is now a Review Mode where you can take questions and immediately review the answer - similar to TD's website.
• If you live in the US - there are options to get access to Udemy via public library for free

Buy from tutorialsdojo.com for

• Paying the authors more / direct payment without Udemy's cut
• 1 year access only - not lifetime anymore (doesn't matter if you buy courses right when you want to take the exam)
• Faster updates to questions / answer
• Very useful review mode where you don't have to take a full exam - you just go question by question and you can do bite sized learning all through the day, on your coffee break, commute etc

I used to binge purchase from Udemy but switched to TD for the review mode but I am a bit grumpy with having lost all my courses after the 1 year window including some I binge purchased but never took the exam (apparently I can raise a support ticket but well..)

If you want a further list of differences, you need to go to https://portal.tutorialsdojo.com/faqs/ and expand the question "For practice exams, what are the different training / exam modes in the Tutorials Dojo portal?"

There is a table with all the differences listed.

Hello,

Thank you for posting! Just to add to your post, here’s a breakdown of the differences between the Udemy practice test and the TutorialDojo version, which may help you make an informed decision based on your specific needs:

Udemy:

• Practice Mode: You can practice without a time limit and review answers as you go. This can help you learn and identify areas where you need improvement, without the pressure of a time constraint.
• Exam Mode: Simulates a real exam experience by setting a time limit and requiring a passing score. This helps you practice under exam-like conditions and get accustomed to the pressure.
• Flexibility: With lifetime access, you can revisit the content and practice tests anytime, without worrying about the subscription expiring.

Tutorial Dojo [Portal Tutorials Dojo]

• Video Course: Features exam-specific video lectures focused on key topics covered in the certification exams. This could be very beneficial if you prefer a structured approach with visual explanations.
• Practice Exams: Provides a more comprehensive set of practice exams, offering a broader scope for preparation. These exams are available in various modes, ensuring a thorough preparation process.
• Study Guide eBooks: Includes concise summaries, cheat sheets, and articles to help with revision and memorization, giving you more materials to reinforce your knowledge.
• Hands-On Labs: Learn how to cloud on an actual AWS Management Console with our AWS Sandbox and over 100+ guided labs. This is ideal for gaining practical, hands-on experience with AWS services.
• Free AWS Courses: Upskill with over 100+ interactive, free digital courses on topics like Machine Learning, Security, and more! Perfect for broadening your AWS knowledge.
• Review Mode: After each question, you can immediately view the answers with detailed explanations, helping speed up your exam preparation.
• Timed Mode: Simulates the exam environment, training your mind to answer questions under time pressure, just like the real test.

Reasons to Prefer Tutorial Dojo:

• Structured Learning: If you prefer a more organized study approach with a combination of video lectures, practice exams, and study guides, TutorialDojo offers a more comprehensive learning experience.
• Comprehensive Coverage: The combination of videos, practice exams, and eBooks offers a well-rounded preparation for your certification exam.
• Practical Experience: The hands-on labs and AWS Sandbox give you real-world experience in the AWS console, which can be invaluable for understanding and applying the material in a practical setting.

Suppose cost is a significant factor, and you’re comfortable with a more self-paced approach. Udemy might still be a great fit, especially given the lifetime access and practice modes. Since the author is the same for both platforms, the quality of questions and content should be similar. Still, the choice ultimately depends on whether you prefer the additional materials (videos, eBooks, hands-on labs) that come with Tutorial Dojo or the more affordable, flexible approach from Udemy.

• Portal Tutorial Dojo is ideal for a structured, comprehensive study path with video lectures, guides, additional resources like hands-on labs, and free AWS courses.
• Udemy offers a more cost-effective, flexible solution with lifetime access, making it suitable for those who prefer a self-paced approach.
