ACI Learning Reviews

Brad is a great instructor hampered by the short time frame of the class

I am frustrated at the way our instructor taught us. I am no where ready for my practice test I feel, let a long my certification exam. I am not a fan at how fast this curriculum is for someone as green as I am in the field. I'm sure others are going great, however, I am not a fast learner. I wish my ACI mentor would have told me to do X, Y and Z in preperation for this material. At least the jargon. That would have helped a lot.

the general professionalism of ACI and the decision-making ability is poor to say the least. on Wednesday, there was inclimate weather and class was held. on Thursday, when the road were clear i got a call that there was an "emergency situation" at the facility and classes were canceled with no option of zoom (which the am class did) also stated was that there was a make up class to be scheduled on an upcoming Saturday. fast forward to 7pm on Friday when we got an email that our make up session was at 8am the next day. we were unable to take the end of course assessment until Saturday despite having meet the over 80% attendance requirement in your policy. poor decision making and lack of consideration of your students time. I will highly discourage anyone who inquires into your courses from taking them, currently there are 4 people in the course with me that i work with and 5 others that were considering attendance that will no longer be attending.

The class was so fast that the students were not able to keep up. Additionally, the instructor never had enough time to truly delve into the concepts. Instead they were forced to give a rudimentary explanation, and then move on.

Looking forward to a better learning experience after this constructive criticism.

the course material was ok but I took diligent notes and studied them before the practice exam and to hear the instructor contradict her own slides and words is disappointing. I now basically have to go back and relearn the material according to the pmbok and not my notes. I feel the Army is wasting money by paying for ACI's course. There is no way I should have spent 30 hours in a virtual classroom just to get 58% on an open notes/ open book test. I will not recommend this course to anyone.

It provided inaccurate or outdated information in as confusing a manner as could be achieved. Was it worth $15k? I don't know...

The first instructor was terrible, and would berate the students whenever they asked questions. The course material itself was very helpful.

Overall, this course seems like a GI Bill cash grab. It is overpriced for the knowledge and material provided. After being with ACI for 10 weeks I feel as if I would have been better reading the CompTIA's Objectives and watching videos on Youtube on each topic. Then paying for the Certification exam on my own. It would have been cheaper and with would have been more efficient.

The instructor was not very relatable compared to the other instructors, Did not offer many real-world relatable experiences to describe while teaching the class. Interrupted during mid-term and final exams, very distracting, even letting me know I was the last one taking the exam and that more or less everyone was waiting on me.
