Very clear, well explained videos. I tend to lose interest with video learning but I was kept engaged. Very enjoyable course helping you absorb lots of information quickly like a sponge.

Like guiding through network and security elements ... fast. Challenging and rich in content but not going into too deep. The following courses in the certificate will delve deeper, I imagine.
