Apply yourself to these terms and concepts and you will gain knowledge that is presented in a very understandable way. Watch and rewatch the course videos and I promise it will all start making sense!

Great overview of the technical aspects of networking that, once again, started from the very "I know nothing basics" and moved to more advanced topics at a rate that this beginner could keep up with.

This was a much more challenging and technical than the first course for this certificate. I have done other video based education, and this is much more upbeat and engaging than those.

Very thorough and well explained for starting in networking. If you already know the basics, this will take you a little deeper. If you start from 0, there isn't a better place to start!

This was an incredibly detailed course, which I can honestly say made my brain hurt!! It reminded me of learning the circuitry of the nervous system. Looking forward to more learning.
