CompTIA A+ 1101 (2.0) Reviews

Courses material is great but not having an instructor that can instruct makes learning this way harder than it needs to be. I'm very disappointed with this last class due to the instructor. I myself have been an instructor for compressed training times and still made course material relatable and understandable. I kept an open mind and remembered no matter how long I had done the tasks being taught, I taught the course material 1. In accordance with the material set to present and 2. The students are absorbing or not absorbing material based on how well I can relate that material to their knowledge base and understanding. I adjusted to classes as needed and would expect similar teaching standards from my own instructor. Never would I have told students "You're not asking me the right questions so I can't answer your question" That does nothing but frustrate and shut down a class. On more than 1 occasion Mr. Lee made that statement to us as a class, that to me would be an indicator of me not connecting with and reaching my class. He refused to adjust and we have suffered because of it.

I am frustrated at the way our instructor taught us. I am no where ready for my practice test I feel, let a long my certification exam. I am not a fan at how fast this curriculum is for someone as green as I am in the field. I'm sure others are going great, however, I am not a fast learner. I wish my ACI mentor would have told me to do X, Y and Z in preperation for this material. At least the jargon. That would have helped a lot.

Looking forward to a better learning experience after this constructive criticism.

The first instructor was terrible, and would berate the students whenever they asked questions. The course material itself was very helpful.

This course is not a suitable prep for the core 1 CompTIA exam. The in class mid term and final exams only measure ones aptitude at searching for the correct answer on google. While this class is a good familiarization opportunity for people who have never done anything other than use windows, browse the web and send emails, it is not sufficient to pass the CompTIA A+ core 1 examination.

This course was a dreaded part of my day due to how it was taught. The instructor we had was not the original instructor who was supposed to teach this course and you could tell the instructor we had was put on the spot. Very unorganized and left many students confused. We had an in-class aid, since the course was taught over Zoom, which would've worked well if we could have had more time to ask him questions. We could only ask questions and go over materiel during our 10-minute breaks or after class, but that is not something everyone could attend. The course was not engaging at all and was hard to follow. The instructor seemed to rush through the material.

For me, the class was too face-paced. The quizlets are helpful, but there needs to be a book or downloadable content like the slides or a pdf to reference outside of needing to use the ACI Website. I feel like I really didn't retain nearly enough of the material.

so much material to try and learn in two weeks is next to impossible. we would be lucky to retain a quarter of the stuff.
