ACI Learning Reviews

A lot of the material that was in the content section of the course seemed to align too much with other certifications than it did with Security+. There was a lot of information that just didn't seem to match or be that pertinent to the exam requirements. The labs seemed to be more geared towards CEH or CND than for Security+ since they got so deep in the weeds unnecessarily, where Security+ seems to be more broad focused. I understand the desire to have an in depth understanding of the concepts but there's already so much material to learn and study that the other content becomes too overwhelming and kind of diverts from the core knowledge that's needed for Security+. It almost seemed as if the course was trying to teach 3 or 4 different subjects at the same time and felt unfocused. All of the content was helpful in the general scheme of IT and there was certainly a lot that I learned but I feel that I lost more of the Security+ focused material than I would have liked.

Network+ was challenging

The instructor did the best he could given the time and material given. The syllabus homework did not match up with the material covered for the day which added confusion and inefficient time for studying. The time allowed for covering the material was very limited. The course should have been longer to allow more time for absorption and proper assimilation of the material. Also, the videos in the course material were different than the labs given which added a level of discontinuity that made understanding the processes more inefficient and harder to comprehend. The material should

I wish there were more time for the course in order to cover main subjects more in depth. Recommend class be extended an extra week or a few days at least. Instructor Troy did his best with the time he has but I don't believe its enough time overall.

I would like more student interaction and activities set for net+ the overall content felt rushed

Overall I think my instructor was good and repetitive with helping with the work. Just not sure if I really comprehend all the info.

Most of these courses seem to be a rehash of what is on the page. Considering the amount of material that needs to be covered, I understand why.

website is hard to navigate maybe have the course less technical was lost after the 2nd day but have found and was given other ways o study.

Need to offer physical books.

This course has a lot of great resources and material with good practical labs. CompTIA CertLearn and CertMaster are amazing and gave me a great in-depth analysis of networking technologies. The instructor is well-versed and knowledgeable in cybersecurity. He provided good real-world examples on cybersecurity but sometimes focused heavily on security and less on network infrastructures. I believe the ACE assessment needs more scenario-based questions in order to prepare students for the CompTIA exam. Additionally, can a message board or email list be added to the ACI class so students can interact with each other and create study groups? I did not see this feature on the website and only saw students in class via Zoom.
