One giant, long, overly complicated, and unnecessarily convoluted vocabulary session. Never taught the how's of networking or even the why's of networking, just the vocabulary.
Have the instructors view the material to ensure its going to be effective, and to ensure its the correct material needed to help with the actual certification.
This is my fourth course with ACI Learning, and I haven't been happy with one since my first: ITIL Foundations. The material is so flawed that our instructor has spent such a large amount of time pointing out those flaws and Googling relevant visual aids that it made it nearly impossible to stay attentive and engaged. The most beneficial thing about this course has been the access to ITProTV and TestOut, which have excellent videos and labs to help prepare me for the exams. This course material is sorely lacking and in need of a serious upgrade.
After the course I feel that I am not ready to take the certification exam and pass, which is the whole point of the class. Perhaps make it longer and incorporate the Certmaster practice more.
If CompTIA Network+ cannot be instructed fully, then either extend it or remove it and extend Security+ by two weeks. A+ and Sec+ are what get us into good jobs, so kill off Net+. ACI needs an instructor certification program rather than waiting for student feedback. Just like in other educational institutions, supervisors should sit in to spot-check instructor performance. I also recommend providing each student with CompTIA's student guide as student self-study material. Thank you for providing us Eric after removing Toby. He has been amazing in trying to get us the highlights that Toby failed to deliver.
the entire class would have benefitted from this course had the instructor followed the curriculum. We all expressed our concerns but the input fell on deaf ears
I would recommend anyone who has done or is even new to IT to stay away from this program. This program is a money scam and it does not properly prepare you for the actual certifications. I was brand new to IT and even going through this program I still do not know anything about IT I just know theory with no experience in the job field. I have been taught what I need to learn during this process and have not been taught anything to help me actually be successful in this job field.
