I agree that these courses, like most traditional classroom based training courses are expensive and out of the range of many. I was able to get a substantial APN discount, and the course was paid for out of a training budget, so based on that I think it was worth my time (and not having the budget available for something else), but I wouldn't have paid $2K out of my own pocket for it.

For some online videos, either free or relatively inexpensive are a good option. I wouldn't take another virtual classroom course like this because the format didn't really suit me, but I still see a benefit in in-person classroom course when it can be more interactive.

It would be great if you could provide links to your videos as I'd like to check those out, and it would be interesting to see how they compare to the official AWS training material. Also, if you have links to those Qwiklab labs as I couldn't find exact matches for the ones that were part of the course.
