Great course, lots of very challenging and useful information. You'll learn about Linux and some of the inner workings of Windows, plus lots of tools and programs that are really useful. Great course!

Wasn't able to complete because the required labs don't work and there is no adequate support to remedy the issues.

Worst course I've ever taken. Pointless and Labs have incorrect instructions which makes it difficult to complete.

The graded modules at the end are actually broken and don't have all the content you need to complete them.

Needs a different approach and a whole new re-write.
