Course Materials alone did not prepare me for the Exam. If it was not for Christian O'Bryant I would have not digested the materials for the real life exam good enough to take the CompTia Exam.
the instructor was great, the other staff who handles enrollment is very disorganized and lost and seem to only care about getting you in the door and getting there money to sign you up. many mess ups occurred for me and a few classmates in the initial processes. if it wasnt for me constantly checking in on my own paperwork with the va i probably wouldn't even be here or getting my bah, the class is also too short for the amount of info that needs to be covered. getting ahold of the admin side of this operation is almost impossible too, if it wasnt for there only being 2 options for a tech school in texas i would definetly going elsewhere.
This class is okay. There are definitiely some quality issues. There were a couple of computer programming labs where I did exactly what classmates did, but my results were different. There are also many times the info in the labs were outdated. Someof the programs we're supposed to download aren't still available. Most of them don't use the WIndows 11 environment.The e-book frequently introduces acronyms and then doesn't explain them for a page to a chapter later. I don't feel like it really connects everything together well. We had some quizzes and chapters that were exact duplicates of prior quizzes and chapters in the lessons. I'm not military and I'm here on my own dime. I don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth to be honest. I have Coursera to learn some other skills & get certifications not offered here. I saw they also had CompTIA. This is nothing like those courses. The level of detail is very shallow. I know we are doing this in 5 weeks, but after taking some practice tests I do not feel this is a great prep course. I've actively sought out other resources to help me prepare. I just don't think this would be enough. I'll keep an open mind for the next 2 classes in this series, but my expectations aren't great.
Class is too fast paced, needs to at least another week.
Two weeks just isn't enough time to barely grasp all of the concepts in Net+. I think there should be quizzes throughout each section, not just in the exam prep where each one has over 100 questions. I also think more hands-on activities during the class would be helpful in grasping the concepts. Please separate career prep from Net+ in the courses. It gets really frustrating trying to keep it separate as far as materials and such.
I think that 2 weeks is little of time to not only absorb information through presentation slides, but to also complete the labs and provided material. I enjoyed learning from Loran and thought she did a good job explaining new information in a way that is understandable. I think the course is material is good as someone who is learning, if that counts for anything. I just have to play catchup and study for Net+ during Sec+. That may just be how it is studying for certifications, I am new to all of this. Thank you!
I would change the way the program is sectioned better. For example, skilled technicians get the information faster, the individuals that have no idea what is being talked about throughout the course makes it difficult to keep up sometimes. It's not the material really training me it's the videos and after school I am learning. So it does feel like a waste of time unless I ask the instructor something.
While I was successfully able to meet the course requirements, the accelerated delivery model creates an absorption bottleneck. Moving rapidly between models and subjects left insufficient time to deeply process the material, especially for someone new to IT. Consequently, there is an apparent deficit in learning; I am finishing the program without a secure, foundational grasp of core IT concepts.
I think the instructor did a good job teaching the material. I think the material itself was adequate to above adequate. The labs were for the most part beneficial. There were a couple of labs where we didn't do what was advertised in the description (the one that comes to mind was dealing with cloud access). The lab questions were frustrating because they sometimes counted your answer wrong if you didn't have certain words capitalized or in a very particular order. Also, some of the lab questions had nothing to do with the actual lab objective. The exam prep was very inadequate. Several questions were close to identical. The explanations lacked details on why answers were wrong. I believe there are several questions regarding tailgating that are incorrect. I also think the difference between pivoting and relay creation needs to be explained better. Including the Certmaster Courseware was very beneficial. I score 100s on the exam prep but the courseware questions I don't do as well on and seem to be more along the lines of what I will see on the certification exam.
