ACI Learning Reviews

Ton of info in a short time. Good content. A little bit scattered at times.

This course may need an additional 3-4 days in order to ensure the students have a firm understanding of the material.

I think if someone does not have IT experience they should not start with this course or just don't do the 5 days straight because it is a ton of information.

It is hard to say if the time allotted was enough or if it achieved its stated objective since I haven't taken the actual Security + Comptia cert test :) I feel much better prepared and the course material being available will help. I was able to complete all but 1 lab and it was a minor one to me. For some I think they would need this in a 2 week course in order to grasp concepts and keep up with labs and actually understand a lot of the terminology. May consider a 1 week for those with IT backgrounds or experience with Computers while while those starting off on this path for the first time offer a 2 week course to make sure they understand key concepts.

I first described the course at the end of day one to a co-worker, "It seems a bit over my head but I'm hanging in there!". As we got into day two I became more confident in what I was gaining by the course. I have only been involved in a small amount of audit work since I transitioned to this position 3 months ago, but by the end of day three I will say I am so grateful to have attended this training. I appreciate this high-level review of IA. I feel I am now armed with information and a better understanding of my role!

The course overall was good where it provides a better background around ICS environment. However, it would be better to have case studies in the class exercises. As the majority of exercises were asking students about their own organizations. Unfortunately, a good amount of students had a little or minimal grasp of their ICS environment.

I think a few extra days would help.

It’s a lot of information to digest in 1 week. More time should be given to ensure knowledge is retained.

Great Class for intro to It.

It seems that one must have already read PMP books or taken pre-courses in order to know the gaps in learning that was not taught in class and were present on the pre-test and quizzes. Definitely, more hours and days of study is required to be fully prepared for the actual test.
