I'm not entering the job market right away, but I can easily see the benefit of this week and the guidance from Dr. Dreighton for those who are looking for employment. I defintely have some take aways that will help me once I am ready for that step.
The practice questions, practice exams, and exams do not reflect the rigor of the questions present in the actual CompTIA exam; the topics are covered, but not to the extent of the CompTIA questions. We were not made aware, going into the ACI program, of the true state of the current job market in relation to IT, which felt like a bait and switch, considering the course intro stated that "all companies are IT companies," but neglected to say that companies are wanting years of technical IT experience for entry level roles and that people with degrees and certs in the IT realm are being rejected en masse due to their lack of working IT experience
In regards to the Network+ section, it felt as though there was a lack of hands on to supplement learning. Having the class set up a small network would be helpful to show in tangible sense how the content we learn translate to real life.
