I believe my skill level might up been too high for this course. This is a beginner course and should only be taken for someone with no formal training in IT it gives you a good area to start and allows you to understand what you will be doing.

I definitely enjoyed learning the basics in this fashion. I'm also studying for the Comptia A+ at the moment, and I found that while going through this course it actually helped clear up several items that I was stuggling with in the A+ course.

Great course!!! Definitely what helped me master the topics in this course were the quizzes and the hands on labs. Great feature in this course. I look forward to keep learning more and reinforcing concepts that I already have knowledge on.

After having been disillusioned with the IT field after dropping out of DeVry (please don't laugh), it's nice to have the drive back and a much more affordable course to take which will prepare me to step into this field with my head held high.

As a beginner in IT I found this course to be laid out well and easy to follow. Just make sure that the grades assignments are done on Windows, Chromebook will not work. You can use Chromebook to view all the videos and take test and quizzes.

The course was very informative and engaging. I liked the logical progression from module to module. I highly recommend this course, although it keeps you wanting more, as five courses complete the training. I have only taken the first course.
