Jsaon
I always enjoy Scott Duffy training videos. I like how this followed the skills outline from Microsoft.

It was a great course which helped me to clear MS-203, I had previous experience in QnA Maker and Bot services but other major areas are very well covered by Scott. In the practice test I scored 70% in the first attempt.. but it gave proper understanding and logic building thrust.

Jessica
This course is a great walkthrough Azure Cognitive Services, but definitely not prep material for MS-203 exam.

Scott: cleard my exam in one week
Despite being recently updated this course feels out of date, for example there are 31 minutes of videos on QnA maker, but this service does not appear on the current study guide and its not clear from the course content how this differs from its replacement (Azure Cognitive Service for Language).

Furthermore, 10 minutes of videos on knowledge mining feels low for an area that makes up 15-20% of the exam

Richel
I have cleared exam today with 900!, these mock tests were very helpful to me and highly recommended. Thank you
