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..
My understanding is that the course had hands on, but it's all been death by power point and constant notes trying to keep up. The staff is amazing, but I will say when teaching I feel because they are so experienced they forget we are new to the materials.
I feel that there was too much information and not enough time to learn it all. Two weeks is not enough for Net+.
Course could've been structured chronologically better. The AI prompting and scripting could've been put at the beginning vs the end.
Overall, the course has been challenging. Mainly because the enrollment process doesn't fully set someone up for success on the first day or what to fully expect upon attending the program. One of the reviews seen online stated that there wasn't a reasonable expectation when it came to the amount of time needed to study outside of class. It wasn't until being in class that it was articulated that the expectation especially for someone "new" to IT is that at least an additional 4+ hours. Also, from the beginning, the course should bring in the AI lesson not wait until the end. That sets everyone up for failure because now you're showing us a tool to help us really study after we could've been applying it throughout the 4 weeks of A+. Having the first week of the program being more of a get acclimated to the program, curriculum and ways in which to study would be more beneficial. The utilization of AI should also be spoke to throughout the course as it will help the students to best utilize it during each subject.
