ACI Learning Reviews

When signing up for this class I was worried about it being online and accelerated. It's been very challenging for me with no experience not sure how I will do moving forward. The labs and lecture seem to be different curriculum's. In labs I have a hard time figuring them out because I've never tried or been shown how to troubleshoot scenarios. Instructor does help when asked to repeat but stuff but so much material needs to be pushed out I'm finding it hard to grasp the curriculum fully.

Overall, it was a good training but some of the portion can be further enhanced as it centrally focus on General IT Controls and Application Controls. Also, I think further discussion before the training to set the course topic, our IT environment, etc. can enhance the learning and topic discussions.

he is cool probably better in person, he is good but its hard to keep up when he talks a lot to about his life which is cool but only that we are an accelerated course, so it is a lot.but he is a very cool guy!

The instructor was unable to cover all of the material in the allotted time. We made it about 60% of the way through the curriculum.

Great material directly from CompTIA. It provides challenging test questions and great in-depth lessons on the CompTIA objectives. Dr. Mack is very knowledgeable about cybersecurity but was unable to address all of the material in such a short timeline. A lot of additional resources were presented in class and the cohort did provided some excellent study materials in order for you to prepare for the exam.

Course is too short. Needs to be at least 3 weeks.

It was an overload of information and I did not really understand any of it. I felt very overwhelmed during this entire course.

the software is horrible, had to wright down my own answers and grade my own practice test. look at ExamFx.. its for insurance lic... it was more useful and could take test and get an idea of where you are.

Instructor practically just read the words off of the powerpoint slides and often read them wrong as well as mislabeling acronyms throughout the course. The instructor may be knowledgeable about this field, but is not great at teaching that knowledge.

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.
