Hear from our alumni
Very informative and to the point. Great real world examples and fast paced.
The course is intense, but very doable if you actually partake in class and study on your own like Jose has recommended. You have to at least devote some study time to learn all of the material from the first course with about 10-12 extra.
The instructor was very knowledgeable and presented the topics in an easy-to-grasp manner. I learned a lot just from the lectures. The labs in particular were lacking. It was too much based on just clicking through different things rather than explaining why we were clicking through the things. The challenge questions required a single very specific answer when several variations could have been allowed (such as plural vs singular or extra words that were not particularly needed). Sometimes the lab answers were never mentioned in the lab text or procedures. The slides were not usually comprehensive enough to learn the material. Not all of the quizzes were particularly relevant, or they asked for specifics without giving a spec that can vary based on the particular hardware used. It would have been useful to have more coverage in the training material on operating system commands (specifically Linux), assuming they're important for the Comptia Certs. The mid-term exam had some questions that could have applied to multiple options. For example, matching windows versions with features. Certain features applied to multiple versions, but it would only accept the feature under one version. It didn't specify that we should choose the lowest windows version where the feature was implemented, as well.
