I had a great instructor; Patrick was always available even after hours. He made the material very easy to follow. I would highly recommend the course for anyone.

Learning about PenTest+ after Security+ was helpful. The principles from Security+ assisted with learning the core from PenTest+. It felt more like a review rather than a whole new course.
