ACI Learning Reviews

Wish we would have had this back in March.

Instructor was fantastic, the firehose pace is rough to keep up with.

The course was very "bare-bones", a teach to the test approach. I would've liked to have been provided the full official course textbook without having to go buy it on my own. More time would have helped immensely and would have allowed the deeper dive this subject matter deserves. I'd be lost had I not studied on my own. It's imperative that the instructor be not only well versed with the course work but the delivery software/web portal as well.

i feel that this should be a 3 week class. I didn't learning anything and will be taking this course again.

I would have liked more time to do labs. I work a lot and only allotted time for the time requested. Maybe 30min-1hr would be nice for labs since they take FOREVER.

This course presented a lot of material that needed to be covered in a 2 weeks time. The time provided for these classes is not a lot of time for the amount of material to be covered. LeaderQuest or ACI need to re-think their approach and make these classes longer. I know their test rate failure is higher than the success rate of their students passing the TEST taking it for the 1st time. The layout of the class and material is good but the class time needs to be re-evaluated. In order to successfully have students passing you need to have more times for the classes and really good people who can teach their audience. 2 weeks is not cutting it.

This program is for people who have quite a bit of knowledge already in the IT field. As a newbie, I felt extremely lost from the 1st day. I don't feel I got much out of this course.

The course is good and seems to be laid out well. Many times I had a hard time understanding what parts were being taught that had to do with Network defense as it seemed many of the modules had to do with Physical Security and Data backup more than defending the network. The understanding of IDS and IPS and firewalls were the main topics but there seemed to be a lot of the course that could be removed so that the main point of Network Defence (CND) could be covered. As I stated before the example tests should stick to the module that they are testing on. Many of the test questions were well outside the module they were supposed to be covering or were never covered in this class. Some were poorly written or vague where others had the answers that were as vague and hard to determine. Made me worry about the assessment and the CND certification test overall.

an additional 2 or 3 days so slow the pace and allow for more instructor lead review would be excellent.
