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!

High information load but totally necessary. Learned so much about many facets of OS which we take for granted everyday.

Overall a good course, I feel like there could be some deeper information presented, especially in regards to Windows.

It was easy, clear and somewhat precise, though I wished that it would be in much greater detail; as in commands usage.

It would be very useful if you are brand new to it support. If you have some experience it could be a little redundant.

Course was great and easy to follow, however, constant issues with the labs and grading really drag down the efficiency

Learned a ton, but I wish the week-end tests were more like the final, without holding your hand as you go through it.

Course was fine, only deducted a star due to a couple hiccups in Qwiklabs, that delayed my completion of the course.

A bit harder to navigate the tests. The last week was the hardest. Knowing what to look for could have been helpful.

It was an awesome experience, but you should include more complex practical labs like the final one in between too.

I ended up having to do all of the labs twice because they don't register as complete the first time! Please fix!

Buggy Windows labs that tend to not grade right as always, but I really enjoyed the material. A good foundation.

I am ok with learning powershell but I did not find it useful just yet. Rest was ok but labs was pretty annoying.
