as we did do a+ and net+ prior to doing sec+, there was to many redundancies with the information. but with the new information i wish it was more in depth.
Overall, I found the CompTIA Security+ course informative and helpful, but I believe it would have been more effective if the course were longer. The material covered a lot of important concepts in a short amount of time, which sometimes made the course feel rushed. I also would have benefited from more hands-on labs and practical exercises to reinforce the concepts and gain more real-world experience. Extending the course and incorporating additional hands-on activities would better prepare students for both the Security+ exam and real-world IT/security environments.
High volume of information in such a short timeframe created a challengs; such as reduced retention, surface-level learning, increased burnout. Lessons were not in any order and some students did not have proper courses loaded the first few days.
There questioning that was asked but not explain in the ebooks or slide. A lot of information to retain, with very little time.
Need more hands on training to understand material.
The instructor gave good insight into his experiences and what he has encountered while taking the exam. However, the slides were extremely repetitive with some information and the some sections could've been removed since they were covered multiple times before.
Way too fast paced. Course book is a pain to navigate. Majority of Labs are worthless. No physical hands on training is a huge disappointment.
Overall, I enjoyed the program, but I believe the CompTIA a+ portion could be improved significantly. The material felt rushed, making it difficult to full retain the concepts needed to be successful on the certification exam. I think the curriculum should be structured better on the learning platform and website. I should be organized in a way for students be able to access the study materials , objectives, labs that are required to receive vouchers, and practice resources without having to search for them. Additionally, Core 1 (1201) and Core 2 (1202) should be taught as separate sections since they are technically a two part exam. It should be dedicated instruction and assessments. Having a midterm and final exam for each core. This would allow students to build a stronger understanding of each domain before moving on. This approach would better prepare students for the certification exam and improve overall learning outcomes..
