    I took this course to prepare for the AZ-500 exam. Unfortunately it is not even close to enough to be ready for the exam. I understand that no course can really prepare you 100% but this course is very shallow and not in-depth at all. The course is good for someone who is not familiar with Azure Security and wants to have a basic understanding of their capabilities. If you already have some basic azure knowledge I believe your time is better spent going for a more in-depth and lengthy course that using-up your time in this course. John, the instructor is however a great communicator and makes the learning process pleasant and not boring at all. I also have to say that he is super quick and helpful replying to messages to clarify any doubts you might have. I ended up barely passing the exam but only after I did lots of exam practices and complimented my knowledge with other content.
