ACI Learning Reviews

this bootcamp style of learning was effective for me

Great course great instructors. Chris was good also.

I would gladly recommend ACI to any Veteran that wants to make the career change to IT.

My situation is a bit overwhelming. I attend class from 0900 to 1300 Monday to Friday, then immediately get ready for work (Shower, Food, etc.). Start work at 1400 and don't stop until finished which, on a good day, is around 2300 or so and, on a bad day, don't finish until 0000, 0100 and sometimes even 0200. My work schedule is Sunday through thursday usually working 55-65 hours a week. Devoting time to class while working is a bit rough, but doable, but then doing homework, exam practice, labs etc. really cuts into my time. Some days I'm unable to get much sleep, 5-6 hours if I'm lucky, and by the end of the week, I'm so exhausted and use Friday after school and Saturday to recover and get ready for the next week. Last Friday I was suppose to take my Certification Exam, but was told 20 minutes prior to the exam that it had to be canceled due to not taking the "Pre-Exam" prior to taking the actual Exam. I spoke to my instructor after failing CompTIA A+ 1101 test exam about that, and how I did on the exam and explained my situation, and she stated that i should've been contacted prior to the exam, which I wasn't. She helped me come up with a plan on where to go to from here and I intend to do just that. Fortunately we have next week off for the Thanksgiving Holiday, so that should help me catchup and get ready to retake the CompTIA A+ 1101 Exam again with a passing grade. I feel that anybody who is considering taking this or any ACI courses should know that outside the 4 hour classes should devote at least an extra hour or 2 each day to reinforce what they've been taught and practice practice practice...

Worth Repeat here: A total money grab since no one is readily available and when an issue arises, most won't reach back immediately on urgent matters. Only instructors are the most accessible at ACI. All other entities usually ghost us both through my personal experience and through keeping in touch with ACI Peers within Discord or other media platforms. That is why most of us never jump on the monetary incentives to bring in future students. The overall experience is a 1 STAR. But all of you at the ACI administrative level continuously argue with those of us sharing this complaint about ACI as if it will remedy itself by the fact that we all move on, and new fish enter the shark tank at ACI. That a risk you continue to take a chance on but when the fallout hits, nothing will save ACI because either VA (GI Bill, VRE, Vet Tech), Active Duty (Skill Bridge) or Texas Workforce (Ready to Work) programs will continue to receive enough complaints from all of us to those programs funding us that the time will come that ACI will no longer be an approved program to be funded by them. So, you (the person reading this at ACI), you can ignore my input or attempt to continue to improve your processes and at least make your staff accountable for the time it takes them to respond to urgent matters and especially create a survey to address how your career placement department is doing once we are done with our physical courses. Who holds them accountable for the assistance that is already paid for to help with job hunting, resume building, etc. This whole work-from-home business allows for very questionable practices to set in as norms and doesn't allow ACI to keep its staff to continue to make the students' success the overall objective, which equals continued recommendations and free advertisement as we each are living testimonies of either for or against ACI.

Joseph Hornsey is an incredible instructor and helped the class with his illustrations that made it easier to understand. His 30+ years of experience definitely shows and he is very passionate about teaching.

Overall and Excellent Course. The Instructor did an excellent job.

Great course will definitely come back for future courses.

Great Job ACI team.
