As both a student and 43 Y.O. This was very useful information.
by Matthew M. on August 17, 2026
Overall, it's a solid course for those getting into IT. I recently completed my A+ and Security + so a lot of this information wasn't new for me but is required for my degree plan.

I liked this course.
by John Nicklas N. on August 17, 2026
The course material was hard to search, and a couple of times I found the answer word for word, but it was wrong on the test.
by Caiden J. on August 17, 2026
Course was easy to use and had good information.
by Julio M. on August 17, 2026
