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.

The course was extremely good, the instructor tried his level best to make it interesting and informative. Before this, I knew nothing about what networking was and how it worked but now I can say that I have a good amount of knowledge in networking.

Great course! I learnt the working of internet in great depth. Even after studying a computer science in my university in India, I learnt a lot of practical aspects of networking which always troubled me while figuring out how it all worked together.

A lot of technical information, but very interesting! I am amazed how much goes on in the background when I visit webpages, watch movies on Netflix, and stream my favorite YouTube Videos. This course taught me how it all works and it was fascinating!

Loads of information essential for IT support specialist. The course is well-designed and easy to follow. The illustrations make it easier to understand abstract concepts. Instructors are also doing a great job with the explanation and encouragement.

Para mí fue muy difícil comprender tanta información técnica pero con el mayor esfuerzo que pude logré aprobar todos los exámenes, el material está perfectamente explicado y es muy satisfactorio que aunque haya sido un camino difícil y largo lo logré

Tough if you don't have any experience in tech; but Victor explains things quite well. Just advise lots of supplemental research to understand things better (the quizzes are quite tough if you don't have any tech exp).

Push through :), you'll get it.

Victor was a great instructor, i loved all his jokes! This course will teach the basics and fundamentals of networking. Do not assume this is simply learning about how to set up WIFI though. Take your time and review concepts that seem dificult.

After finishing this course, I can confidently say I have all the fundamental ideas about how computer networks it's amazing to think how far computer networking came from where it initially started. Very very well explained and awesome experience.

The course was super amazing to revise the basics of networking and also learn the networking techs in industry. The instructor makes sure, that you never loose the interest in the matter even though some of the lessons were just theory. Keep it up

It was a really good corse, and all of the subjects were well explained. Maybe, the only thing i would improve is to add some glossary at the end of each chapter, since there are way way too many acronyms to remember, and it so it could be helpful.

This course covers the technical details and the core functioning of computer networking, and its protocols. It touches history, various standards, and the infrastructure that maintains all those things. It is very informational and amazing course.

Crazy amount of information. I didnt realized how deep networking went. I wish I would of learned more about how to set up networks for your company. However, I believe you learn that in the next course. Overall still a lot of greart information.

It is not that easy for me, since I have no technical background and I am a non native English speaker. However, the instructors did great in delivering his message. Also, it was easy for me to just come back and repeat where I did not understand.

Having completed CompTIA Network+ also, this isn't a replacement but this rounds out the knowledge from that certification nicely, a great complement I will be recommending for any struggling in N+ studies or just those wanting to know a bit more.

Wow, it's an amazing class. This course gives a lot of info, and also many leads on what to research further. I plan on setting up a great home network, and learning as much as I can about a future in networking. Thank you for this amazing course!

A lot of information but good information. The 8+ minute videos got a little long. Maybe it would be better if it were cut down into smaller segments. What I found of interest was the information on IPv6 because that is the future of the internet.

The only thing I don't like is that some of the exams are in Greek. Which is annoying when I am on a roll then have to stop and complain. I clearly states I am an English speaker, so I don't know. Then there's the thing about having it corrected.

With this certificate, I re viewed all the courses I took in my Bachelor's degree at the university. It was difficult, but is so interesting to learn about network. I feel great and I will continue studying these kind of info. I liked it so much.

This is still a warm up and gives you lots of knowledge. Hit the vocabulary as much as you can. They don't often repeat what the string of letters stands for. You might even want to skip ahead to the vocab in every section or in the last lesson.
