ACI Learning Reviews

Very nice. Fast paced, well taught, and a fun experience.

too much information crammed into the amount of time, unable to fully grasp concepts since we are still just trying to understand the basics and language. However, instructor was great and trying to explain thing to the tiny details. All issues were with the time allotted and crammed content.

My instructor was Patrick Allen for CompTIA A+ (core 1 and 2), network+, and security+. He is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to teach us all we need to know. He provides an abundance of real-life examples and is always lending a helping hand. I would definitely recommend taking courses with him. The course provides a good amount of content and materials, however, our instructor also recommended other resources that will be helpful to pass the exam. The course is very fast paced (part-time for 2 weeks) so studying every single day is necessary to fully understand security concepts and definitions.

There was a ton of content (as usual) but it was manageable. I believe Mr. Allen gave us the tools and pertinent information to be successful with our certification test.

A lot to learn. It is a cram session. being new to this I will need more time to learn all the definition's.

David was very knowledgeable about the subject matter and was well able to answer questions from participants during the class.

In order to truly be effective this course should provide the instructor actually showing students how to configure equipment, things to watch for while doing so, etc. CompTIA has a lab environment which could easily be utilized rather than reading every page of the manual through and verbally explaining what is most needed to know on the test and in the various careers. "teach a man to fish" If ACI truly wants to get into the 94% pass-rate then actual environment configuration requires teaching (show us how to fish). I can (and must) read the material myself and if needed we have mentoring times to ask questions. The meat and potatoes lie in actually doing the thing. There's a better way to create Security+ certified professionals. Ones that pass the exam with a strong knowledge around how to physically do the job. This is what will create a more powerful CompTIA within the certifications realm to stand out among peers.

Josh is a great instructor

I thought the course was great. The instructor was very knowledgeable, engaging, and personable. Enjoyed the real life experiences that he shared throughout the course.

A well structured course that accomplished the objectives I had when it began.
