Best part of the course is the instructor Logan Montgomery. Second best part is the CompTIA learn material such as: Practice questions, labs, and games. Lesson plans suck, slides aren't detailed enough for reference as I went through practice questions, ACI restrictions on instructor limit learning options. It's a firehose of information and doesn't help for any student to retain it. If I wanted to get blasted by info, I'd just watch YouTube.
There were a lot of labs and practice questions. It was almost too much for the allotted time. I found myself focusing more on completing the labs and practice questions to get it all done than actually studying for the test. I would have liked to see less homework and more study time.
The test or practice questions is not on what you learned it is a play on words.
I cannot stress enough how much I would pay the extra money just to have another week of instruction in all of the classes I signed up for. Like with CND it would be best if the websites were consolidated as much as possible. Labs are where the course materials are most lacking. They're much improved over CND, but myself and other students encountered issues trying to run through them. They need more explaining why you're doing something, and opportunities to figure out what to do next on your own, with some helpful hints available on demand of course. It continues to be a mystery what purpose the Aspen site serves, I can't recall a single point in my CND or my CEH studies where it was utilized for anything, or spoken to beyond leaving a review on the course.
I found keeping up extremely hard and will have to do a large amount of back tracking. Coming from having no experience this program has been particularly difficult.
Once you get stuck on a lab it slows everything else down.
Overall the more complex the classes get the harder it is to comprehend the amount of information in such a short period of time. This needs to be evaluated thoroughly I think to give people the best opportunity to learn the information given.
