ACI Learning Reviews

Like the previous courses, the instructor was clear and concise. Appeared to be interested in what he was teaching.

The content I would have liked to have more practical/hands on if possible over all instructor was knowledgeable entertained to engage student. Knowing it can be a dry certification to teach and that the 601 is much broader then then past Comptia Exams I understand, over all a great course.

Learning all of this information is already a lot. There was some extra info which is nice as a 'deep dive' but I think is unnecessary for the majority of students who are already struggling with some of the more basic concepts. For example, on the last day of this course there was info on how to calculate the metric of each hop count and what a NSSA area is and how that is important. These seemed extremely advanced topics for a more advanced class such as CCNP, but I would have rather spent more time on more relevant information. The instructor did a good job of walking us through some of the more dense information, which needs to be explained in very simple terms so students can recall it on the exam. I would like to see more explanations of the outputs of the commands broken down, as in the beginning cisco commands can spit out a lot of information and students could be confused if the information they were looking for was not there because they ran the wrong command or from the wrong mode. A quick tour of the command line interface, especially in the NetSim application on day 1 would go a long way.

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

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

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!

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 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.
