ACI Learning Reviews

Make sure someone is running the study course

Enjoyed the course.

None.

The resources and questions for the official PMP test prep like projectmanagement.com's "Guru" 1000 questions correct and other resources have LOADS of information that this class doesn't have time to mention. I would love to see a longer course that covers more things slower, maybe over 3-4 weeks and more assessments with more opportunities to ask questions and get answers to those questions. ITIL covered a lot but seemed managable with 2 weeks, even though that too was pretty fast. This one surprised me because we learned a LOT, EVERY class, but when I started taking other exam questions and used other resources to prepare for PMP, there were more questions covering topics I'd never heard of than ones covering topics I had. PMP seems to be a huge huge HUGE body of knowledge, and I'd love to get the opportunity to dig further in. This was a great course to get started, and maybe that's all it was supposed to be, but I do not feel at the end of this 2 weeks I am prepared for the PMP exam. I will need weeks of studying other bodies of knowledge, this class being one of many.

This course is definitely not for students starting out in IT. There is a high learning curve to be proficient with the course material. I would seriously recommend using other resources in addition to the ACI course to be effectively prepared for the CCNA exam.

This course should be audited due to the large inconsistencies in the course material. A large majority of the student slides are unreadable due to the abundance of notes and whatnot all over them. The instructor was great in facilitating what he was given to work with.

It's a lot of information to take in in a such a short amount of time. It's good that it's flexible so that after the course, I can still review materials, complete labs, and re-sit the classes if I so choose. Otherwise, it would be difficult to complete the learning objectives.

This course may do well for aural and visual learners, but really lacks engagement for hands on learners. I excepted much more out of these courses for as much as I'm paying for them. (Well, the VA is paying, but regardless I still expected much more out of these courses.) I feel these courses only offer slightly more (At least for my learning style) than a course I can get online such as Udemy. And considering the cost difference, I could not justify coming back for other courses at a later date. The course even talked about training types usually done at seminars where students were walked through different tools. None of that happened in this course. Certain tools were demonstrated, but unless I ventured out on my own, I received no hands on experience.

Overall, I don't have anything of value to contribute to this review because I feel that my individual experience was so badly skewed in a negative way that to provide an overall review would not be fair and impartial to the overall program.

This course left me more confused than anything. It mostly had to do with the instructor. He just doesn't teach well. Questions were difficult to ask because answers were often convoluted. I'm going to have go through the course again using other resources and videos. I'm not very excited about how it turned out. Because of the regularly confusing explanations, it was too easy to just get lost and give up and start zoning out or just try to study on your own during the lectures.
