Attending the face-to-face session with Kim
Attending the face-to-face session with mentors and fellow students was a valuable experience. It brought a real-world perspective to cloud learning and helped bridge the gap between theory and practice especially around live projects, architectural problem-solving, and client-focused solutions as cloud engineers and architects.
A big thanks to Kim and the Optima Academy team for organising such a practical and insightful event. It truly adds depth to the learning journey.

My time with Optima Training and Consultancy was generally okay. I picked up some good knowledge about Google Cloud, and Kim Brooke was supportive and explained things clearly. There’s still a bit of room for improvement in how the sessions are organised, but overall it was a fair experience that gave me a basic understanding of cloud concepts.

Outstanding trainer
Review for Kim – Optima Training and Recruitment Ltd
Kim Brook has been an amazing trainer throughout our Google Cloud programme. She kept us engaged during the online sessions and made sure everyone understood the material. At the Google Cloud student event she organised, we finally got to meet the whole group in person and gained real, hands-on experience migrating an organisation to Google Cloud. Kim’s enthusiasm and support made the experience both fun and valuable — truly a great trainer to learn from.

Best option
As someone who has experienced a few different training providers, Optima is my best option on the market in my experience.
I've recently appreciated the help from Kim Brook in particular especially with my CV which has probably been something ive always been weak with.

Passed AWS CP — here’s why Optima worked
I joined Optima not knowing where this journey would take me. Kim Brook and the team stood out from every other course I’ve tried: clear structure, weekly classes, and genuine 1:1 support. What impressed me most was the follow-through after the training finished check-ins, portfolio guidance, and steady encouragement. I sat the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam yesterday and passed first time. The programme gave me fundamentals, confidence and momentum. If you want accountability and practical help rather than marketing promises, this is it.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting the practical support that sets our community apart. We’re excited to see what you achieve next on your cloud journey.
AWSome Academy
I’ve had an exceptional experience learning under my AWS instructors at this academy and would like to raise special thanks to Kim Brook. She consistently goes above and beyond traditional teaching methods, ensuring that every student truly understands the concepts. Her approach is not just about delivering lessons—it’s about mentorship, growth, and building confidence.
Kim offers dedicated one-to-one support, organises additional study sessions, and provides thorough guidance for exam preparation. During group sessions, she creates an inclusive and engaging atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and encouraged to participate. This not only strengthens technical understanding but also helps develop essential communication and teamwork skills.
What truly sets this academy apart is its community spirit. It doesn’t feel like a typical classroom—it feels like being part of a supportive alumni network or professional fraternity, where ongoing help and collaboration continue well beyond the course itself.
I’m genuinely grateful for Kim Brook and her colleagues commitment and passion for teaching. Kim's mentorship has made a real difference in my learning journey and professional development.

Do NOT trust Optima. aggressive sales, false debt and harassment
I made an initial enquiry in July 2024 and repeatedly told Optima that I was not interested. On 28–30 Nov 2024 I cancelled in writing (“I didn’t sign and I won’t sign… stop bothering me” and “Cancelled — don’t send anything”). Optima’s staff (Jodie Rutter, Ruby Wordsworth, Steven Benfield) continued to call and send Zoho Sign reminders. Despite cancellation and no services delivered, a debt collector (ACI-UK; ref 3038056) contacted me in Aug 2025 demanding £4,008.17 on behalf of “Payment Assist Ltd.” I never attended the course, never received services, and there is no signed contract, and their staff continued to call and email after I asked them to stop. I have reported this to Trading Standards, Action Fraud/NFIB, the ICO and the FCA.
I have full voice recordings for their scamming process and I already have shared them with the top UK Gov dogwatch and Authority, and soon court and social media, (This is how we stop these "SCAMMERS", read other negative reviews and you will find out the majority of positive reviews are fake accounts.
I’m publishing these so others don’t fall into the same trap, check your paperwork, demand proof, and report aggressive sellers.
