ACI Learning Reviews

This was a little late in the day for me to pay attention for much of the last 2 hours. I was pretty useless after 10 pm

The first week of the class we had Chris Ward. A friendly, engaging, knowledgeable instructor. Sad to say, following week was a big downgrade from the previous. Mark Russel has a great experience in the industry and teaching, but falls short in presenting the material in a thoughtful way that would assist us in passing the examination. Many times, he seems totally unprepared, relying solely on his own experience as a content for teaching. When we go over some practice questions, often, he answers them wrong along with us before clicking and viewing the correct answer. I understand that everyone makes mistakes, but I have slightly higher expectations from someone teaching this material. As he mentioned, this is his first time teaching at ACI, and it does show. Any related questions about this organization and programs such as where to find various documents go mostly unanswered. Overall, I think the content is good, but the presentation of it needs work. I wouldn't recommend this course in its current state with Mark Russel as its instructor.

I found this course to be fairly easy until going through the networking section. Being fairly new to this field i feel the pace was very fast and hard to comprehend.

Course featured a wealth of knowledge in its course content and materials as well as from the instructor. However, the course length was not proportionate to the course material for me. Many of the topics can be covered in abbreviated detail and can be condensed into 4-hour chunks. Students must come prepared to be able find course content and be able to operate all tools used to facilitate the course prior the course starting.

The course overall was okay. I thought there would be more instruction and learning about the exam and what to expect during the class time. The best thing about the course was the instructor and the little tidbits that he would give about the exam and testing strategies and his thought process on how he approached studying and tackling challenges. I also really enjoyed Jason's presentation about networking, he was really charismatic and did an excellent job. Finally, all of the resources provided is great as well, there are so many listing them on here would take the rest of the day.

it was good very informative, i do wish though we at some point, in day we skipped a break and left to be able to discuss with amongst ourselves, and help each other out, in the understanding of foundations. Peer support! to work things out together on things some people may understand better than others, in a different way mr. brown could explain

I need instructor led labs

Course was great just too much information all at once. Especially for someone just starting in IT

I think the instructor is awesome. But I also wish there was more time to dumb it down for the people who are new. I was lost a lot in this course and didn't want to interrupt the class every single time I was confused out of respect for the rest of the class.

Security + had way two much material to cover in two weeks with all of the content. I spent almost 10 hours outside of class everyday to cover the lessons and the section questions. I did not have the time to a single lab for security +. Adon is the best instructor by far!
