ACI Learning Reviews

It was a good course; however, it was too many materials and concepts to cover in such a short amount of time.

with out the instructor that we had im pretty sure i wouldnt have been able to learn that quickly

This is a good course, but it should be 180 days instead of a 90 day course.

Tough course for two weeks for someone with no experience.

Mr. Fedd is amazing.

it was better than my last course

i think more exam related material needs to be added, and for every course, not just this one, students need to be made aware before enrolling in the program, that taking the course alone will not get you to pass the exam. You have to take additional time on your own everyday to study the material and use the additional resources provided by the instructors. For people like me with an already tight schedule with a day job and kids to take care of, i wouldve waited to sign up for this until i had a more ideal situation

I would say that tailoring to how the military learns would be a great help

This was an introductory course curriculum with large portions that are already covered in the Intro to Telecommunications, Firewall, and VPN courses. In the future, the Advanced courses should be designed to address and incorporate specific FFIEC workprograms. A Network Architecture and Security course that addresses the relevant Objectives and Procedures of the new FFIEC IT Handbook - Architecture, Infrastructure, and Operations - would be highly effective and very useful in performing out IT examiner job functions. An intermediate class / course that S&S examiners, who examine level B & C banks, that works step by step through the Intrex Support and Delivery module Decision Factors and exam Procedures would aid the less experienced and less technically knowledgeable S&S examiners in their IT examination duties. The other Intrex modules require less technical expertise to complete and, to me, would not be as necessary to address specifically in a course.

This course is horrible for hands on learning or for neuro-divergent learners. I did not have time to write notes during class as I was focused on the discussion. I did not fully understand the material, was too focused on memorizing rather than learning.
