Carlton Robinson –
I went through this more than once and it did not prepare me enough for the comptia a+ 1001 exam. I still failed the exam and the questions were so confusing. I think Mike’s personality is great and it helps to keep me focused. But this course is just insufficient for the comptia exam. Maybe because I have zero background in the field and it would be better for people that have some experience in help desk or IT. Definitely was a waste of money for me. This course and that expensive exam 🙁
Johnny Gambrel –
This is the first course that I actually completed, very informative but not sure why some chapters are not in the first part of comptia A+ 220-1001 but in 220-1002. On a personal note I no longer feel like the bought a udemy course but never finished it meme applies to me anymore 😉
John Kuykendall –
Very happy with this training. Mike makes learning more enjoyable and adds a different twist to retaining what you learn. Wish he would do a class for the CCNA.
daniel ramos –
I just passed my CompTIA A+ core 1 200-1001
alot of the info in this course helped me pass the test but it doesnt cover everything. just make sure you dont solely rely on this course but it will get you about 80-90% ready for the test. Overall definitely recommend this course!
Mick –
I did not know what to expect but this worked out better than expected. It helped to reinforce the main things I needed to know in a more practical way. It was similar to an informative conversation with a quiz. I will be taking all of his courses for my future needs. Definitely an A1 course and platform.
Derrick Simeon –
I enjoyed taking this course. Mike helped me understand a lot of the material and he even help me understand some terms i wouldn’t usually understand. Him and the tech support team in the Q&A are some awesome instructors.
Jermaine Reyes –
what I found is in the quizzes there were questions mentioned that mike never went over. It would throw me off from time to time. There is also no transcript for cellular devices. But other than that Mike is great. I’m glad I chose this course.
David Francis –
Overall a good course. I didn’t like how he worded many of the quiz questions though. Not very similar to actual questions. There were also times where he covered a subject for about 5 seconds out of an hour long chapter, then put it on the quiz. Spend more time on the critical topics.
Orestis Papakonstantinou –
This is a good course that covers a broad range of IT concepts. I would recommend this course to someone interested in getting into the IT industry or for refreshing some key skills. It is well worth it, even if someone does not plan to sit for the A+ exam.
Amith Karun K –
I have passed my a+ exam today. My only training was using your tutorial videos.Thanks a lot for the wonderful content.
Tanzeel Saify –
it would have been so expensive to get the equipment and mike did a great job getting those expensive piece of hardware out on the camera and explaining the exam objectives by going through the real hardware.
Matthew Jackson –
Mike is great. Mixing a bit of humour into his wealth of knowledge. Uses great examples to help understand concepts. Doesn’t move to fast or to slow. Really great all around.
