CompTIA A+ 1101 (2.0) Reviews

The instructor and supplemental material were phenominal. The course itself seemed scattered at times.

I will have to use the mentor/instructor line more often since there is not enough detailed information on the Module material. I will have to change study practices and focus on TestOut material. Their labs are frustrating but do force hands on learning.

I felt the flash cards given to us didn't help when taking the cert master tests to study. There was a ton of information not in the slides that was presented on the practice tests. There was way too much information scattered across multiple areas that made it difficult to learn the information needed in the course. It should be easier to access the information in a centralized location so you're not having to go to multiple places to try and understand what you are being tested on. I ended up just using google to learn from instead of the multiple resources presented to us (slides, flashcards, videos, cert master, labpro).

Overall the performance of the content provided by ACI is subpar . The test out labs are frustrating as all hell to use , the content itself in A+ is minimal for studying and i had to use 3rd party websites just to help a new comer to the IT world understand how everything works. ITIL foundations was a great course from ACI and i don't know how they went from a FANTASTIC learning space to A+ , a course that has users searching for answers off their platform . I SAY AGAIN THE ONLY THING ABOUT THIS COURSE THAT WAS WORTH WHILE WAS MY INSTRUCTORS EXPERTISE. PATRICK ALLEN IS THE MAN.

The integration of the materials could be improved. Wonderful instructor

ITVProTV - Videos are detail and explicit, yet not to the point. As a mentor, supervisor and instructor, I would not recommend this videos. They do bring personality into the dry self paced learning although to much as a distraction. This would be OK if they where a supplemental material 14 days before class as an introduction and what to expect. I would rather partner with Professor Messer as he is more straight to the point and the medium allows to concentrate on material.
