A lot of the information seems to be very surface level. As far as the Core 1 exam for CompTIA's A+ certification goes, this is good as a primer but the test itself has some very real technical questions regarding things like port numbers, specifications for cables and other hardware, and identification of physical components which this course does not touch on. Still it can be appropriate for a refresh on some basic concepts but this alone is not suitable for tackling the exam.

Very helpful course to provide a lot of knowledge and practices of basic hardware and network troubleshooting

Loved IT! Straightforward with very precise and concise explanation without cumbersome concepts or material.

top class study information thank you so much for this opportunity for me to do this course

It is a very good course in explaining technological concepts that may appear in the actual A+ exam. It was both comprehensive and beneficial with the accompanying labs. But unfortunately there is much missing that is actually covered in the actual A+ exam. This is just my own critique but I must also must admit that I found it of much value for me towards my prep work for the exam.

Very informative and lends to different learning styles. I also like that some of the material is in short form, but you still get the information you need the MEAT. Thank you

Coursera is the Greatest and beyond the greatest......

Thank you IBM! The course is great!

This is a highly recommended course

thanks

This course was fairly helpful, but there was a few typos and some redundant information here and there. Would definitely recommend if you don't want to fork over 700 dollars to CompTIA for their CompTIA A+ exam course.

WARNING! This course does not include material on Virtualization or Cloud Computing!

Most questions in exam were based of information not covered in this course.

Question 6 Which scanning technique is most likely to go unnoticed by Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)? 1 point TCP SYN Scan UDP Scan ACK Flag Probe Scan TCP Connect Scan

Really one of the wonderful course for the beginers with lots of practical hands on. Learn lots of troubleshooting that is basics for a real troubleshooter. Materials is prepared in sach a way even an non IT person can easily understand and learn. Thank you so much

التعرف على الاجهزه ومشكلاتها والحل لم يخطر ببالي أن تكون هنالك معلومات دقيقه لهذه الدرجه مثل ماوجدت في هذه الدوره التدريبية... دوره ممتازه وبالتوفيق للجميع❤️

Good to get updated with modern up to date hardware info. Lab exercise are useful to think about troubleshooting cases after watched videos.

it help me a lot to understand computer and networks, and it help me to prepare well for my compTIA A+ preparation.

O Curso em si foi bem proveitoso uma pena não liberar o certificado dentro do período gratuito

Very detailed and I love the quizes for memory retention. Suggest to add more quizes
