the course material was ok but I took diligent notes and studied them before the practice exam and to hear the instructor contradict her own slides and words is disappointing. I now basically have to go back and relearn the material according to the pmbok and not my notes. I feel the Army is wasting money by paying for ACI's course. There is no way I should have spent 30 hours in a virtual classroom just to get 58% on an open notes/ open book test. I will not recommend this course to anyone.
It provided inaccurate or outdated information in as confusing a manner as could be achieved. Was it worth $15k? I don't know...
The first instructor was terrible, and would berate the students whenever they asked questions. The course material itself was very helpful.
Overall, this course seems like a GI Bill cash grab. It is overpriced for the knowledge and material provided. After being with ACI for 10 weeks I feel as if I would have been better reading the CompTIA's Objectives and watching videos on Youtube on each topic. Then paying for the Certification exam on my own. It would have been cheaper and with would have been more efficient.
The instructor was not very relatable compared to the other instructors, Did not offer many real-world relatable experiences to describe while teaching the class. Interrupted during mid-term and final exams, very distracting, even letting me know I was the last one taking the exam and that more or less everyone was waiting on me.
no time for labs because no time to get everything. you guys are just processing info in unrealistic compressed time.. Veterans need more time..now its going to take months and our own time without benefits to try to pass cert exams.. this is not how you treat veterans. spread the class out for 6 weeks for future students
Overall, the material, labs, and instructor was spot on with the SEC+, course. However, when it comes to getting adequate support from VET TEC leadership/administration, I give them a F-----! I've emailed VET TEC, and sent text messages, and was given the runaround. Straight SHIT-SHOW from VET TEC LEADERSHIP!!!!
I will re-sit this class with a different instructor that takes the time to hear the students comments and questions instead of firing through slides with, what seemed to be, a pre-planned speech of the material.
Never did labs with us, just told to them on our own. That would be great if i knew how.
