ACI Learning Reviews

Repetition is good and instructor is encouraging. Pushed me to further love IT and want to continue my career in IT.

Too little time to go over too much material. Extend the courses and actually cover the topics. I know this isn't the instructors fault it is the schools.

N/A

The Network + course is fast paced. The learning materials are great. However, there needs to be more explanation for the content. There is a lot of content that I personally felt overwhelmed and could not "put the pieces together", as a new user trying t get the certification. This is not a reflection of my instructor Mr. Bennett as he is great! The course learning plan needs to be revisited by the course designer. For example there were three chapters that were assigned for the students to complete without the instructor presenting the materials in this course. Mr. Bennett caught this and went over these chapters. Great Job to Mr. Bennett!! He is an instructor that really seems to care.

the test had questions that I didn't study for and wording was difficult

Sean Callinan is a performance-centric instructor. He provides many opportunities for review and refinement as well as made complicated subjects digestible. The provided slides and notes did little in the way of understanding the material in self-study without having an instructor/mentor like Sean expand upon them.

Prefers in real life labs to get use to so many different tools and components.

The instructor was put in a situation where he was behind from the beginning. I think the sheer volume of powerpoint slides made it impossible for him to catch up to the course. I benefitted most from the homework material. I especially found the TestOut LabSim exercises to be helpful. I wish we had the opportunity to cover them in class as stated in the syllabus.

It was a very dry course and I think doing it via distance learning made it tougher

This class can be easily be 3 to 4 weeks because there is a lot of material. Many days felt like information overload.
