An Exceptional Course for the Beginners, however I will appreciate a handout for Linux and Power Shell Commands may be added for a quick reference for the Labs

If you have gone through it (completed the course) you would understand why I rated it so high. If you haven't done it yet strongly recommend it! Thanks Syndy!

I loved doing the labs because they help me practice. The certificate program would be much more effective if it was packed with a lot more labs for practice.

Windows is easy to use like removing files, killing processes, etc whereas Linux needs some more practice to remember lots of commands.
