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!

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.

Great course. The teacher is typing quite fast and sometimes have to go back or pause to see or follow her steps

This was challenging but very fun to learn. The labs get you involved deeper into actually becoming a power user

Some labs are very glichie. But the stuff you learn you is mostly what IT does all day. Even on your home gear.

It's very good but Specifically talking about linux there should be more knowledge and practice should be given.

The content was great but the presentation was too slow paced, I had to speed it up by 1.25X and even 1.5X speed

It's a good guide but it is very basic. Basically you need a lot of practice and readings before you master it.

So much information it's hard to keep up but there's a lot of handy and useful info. Linux is overly difficult

There's a lot of information presented very quickly. I think more labs would be helpful throughout the course.

I liked the material, some of the quiklabs were not always great about scoring after the tasks were completed
