Cloud Academy was a US-facing cloud training subscription; since 2024 it is the self-paced library inside QA, a UK training company that sells mostly to employers. If your company already has QA seats it is worth using, but as an individual buyer you should get a written price and lab access list before paying, since neither is published.

Outcomes
This program does not publish job-placement or salary outcomes. Treat any number you hear from admissions as unverifiable.
Interview-prep depth
The syllabus is not public in enough detail to score. Library and labs; no coaching or placement for individual subscribers.
Whatever the program covers, the interview itself is free to prepare for here: coding patterns, system design, practice prompts, company guides.
What a careful reader should know
QA acquired Cloud Academy in July 2019 and folded the brand in June 2024 (Wikipedia). QA Ltd is headquartered at 1 St Katharine's Way, London, with a QA USA office in New York. Old Cloud Academy reviews and pricing found online describe a product that no longer exists under that name.
