Even though it took a bit long to complete this network course, it was every insightful and as I've managed to get a little bit of knowledge about network and network security.

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.

Good course if you learn by definitions but horrible for learning hands on! You get zero hands on learning. It's all definition based learning! I give it one star. Nothing but videos and glossary based learning, no real time hands on stuff here!
