I wish there were resource material that can be downloaded for certain key points of the course that I can read manually to prepare you for interviews or memorize certain components/process that need to be defined. It can better assist the student at understanding the infrastructure and how to better verbalize certain processes\components.

He taught very well and explains all the steps of the configuration manager, but he focused only on the server side configuration, also failed to include client deployment specifically in the update and operating system deployment. Not knowing what was going on on the client side when using the OS and update, I was not completely satisfied.

Really good and understandable easily. I recommend this anyone who would like to understand the entire infra about SCCM.

I wish there would have been labs associate with the course as well as greater depth in how to create applications and packages. That's one of the most important components of Endpoint manager for me, and it was not very well covered. Additionally, quizzes in each section rather than at the end would have been useful
