This course was more intensive than the first one, but felt a little more hands-on. I am excited to see how the next course goes. I do feel I learned quite a bit in this course and it was challenging.

This course was amazing and helped me understand so much more about networking, things I never thought I would know or understand. Very fulfilling and I can't wait to use this knowledge going forward.

This was a hard lesson for me because I am a hands on type learner, and trying to put all this together in my head was hard, but I was able to do it, and now I feel more confident in what am I shooting for.

Awesome information but please breakdown concepts more.

Also if possible, start the course first with "Connecting to the Internet", I think will help alot people that are just coming IT industry.

Thank you!

This section had a lot of meat on the bones and was definitely more challenging. IPV6 abbreviation had me on the ropes for a hot minute. Once I finally understood the learning concept, it was easy peasy.

This course was harder than I anticipated, but I was able to revisit and reread the material until I understood it. I didn't think I was going to finish it. I am super proud of all of the things I learned.

This is a very effective course for an IT Support Specialist. A huge background process and service can be learned by this course. For a deep understanding of how the protocol works this course is a must.

Networking is quite tough as it has so many names,short form of words,bits and many more.Though the instructor wanted to teach it easily and we did that..But i think I need to look up at this course again

This course answered many question I always wanted to find answers for related to networks. If you want to understand eveything about networking in the lowest level, then this course will help you a lot.

It was fine as an overview, but would be difficult to pass any kind of rigorous test with just that. You will need to study much more outside of the class to understand networking in-depth, as I plan to.

I definitely enjoyed the more technical side of all of this. I didn't understand at first but by doing my own research and re-watching the videos, I have a solid grasp of the more complicated topics now.

Fantastic course, finally dove deep enough to explain concepts I've only superficially understood for years, despite the college classes and even more focused certifications in networking I already have.
