Great Material - This course is a great reference and way to refresh your skills for the new Net+ exam! I needed a good refresh before taking the exam and this course is clearly laid out and copiously covers the material for the exam. Great course, well worth the money! -- M.B.
Perfect Course - Not only do you get great lectures that are pretty much PowerPoints with an instructor teaching you the concepts, there are also Demo lectures that show you how each of the concepts works in real life. This is such valuable information to have when taking the test. I feel very confident that this course is the best Network+ course on Udemy. -- D.R. Jr.
A Complete Jumpstart - What has impressed me the most is the depth of the content to this coarse. Each HD video is crystal clear in both the visual and audio, even including quality closed captioning (great for reading along with the lectures). I wasn't interested in the flashcards or the crossword puzzles when I started the program, but I've found them to be very useful in staying engaged in the class when away from home. This is everything you need to get started and have a classroom quality experience from home. Dive in and stay focused! -- P.C.

Passed my 70-411, first try. I have a little bit of background in 2012 so it was beneficial for me to take the quizzes and go back to review what I missed. The course layout made this simple. Instructors provided great detail about the topics. Would love to see quizzes go into greater detail about right/wrong answers, some answers did but not all.

Labs should have been better. There were many mistakes, why not correct and record? Also lab setup doesnt seem good.

not enough practical work the talking heads are distracting - perhaps easier to lose them and just have the audio track

Excellent Course but found a couple of problems. 1. The Transcripts for the DEMO Exercises were not included as they were for the 70-410 course. 2. Video playback kept stalling out or stopped completely. Happened in both Internet Explorer and Google browsers. I tried other Udemy courses and video playback was fine.

The course is packed with information and material. I come from a Networking/Telecom background and I find it quite easy to absorbed. I also really like their demonstration of Powershell commands that are used to install features rather than the GUI.

Terms and graphics are great and explained well. The instructor is excellent, with a great delivery method. However, with the amount of information that needs to be covered, I believe there should be more accompanying resources available for review of the video material.

The content is very good but i find that the instructor goes a little fast and i have needed to rewind and watch it again to catch what was said and understand it properly.

I'm afraid not as good as the previous 70-410 course material. Too much scripted dialogue and not enough examples. Where examples are given the mistakes are also jarring. Also Udemy seems to have introduced some bugs in terms of functionality. --- Edit: I've dropped my review further. The presenters with metro style info-graphics mean nothing to anyone. When dealing with involved subjects they should drop lengthy unnecessary grammar accordingly. Likewise when you can guarantee the video examples will have a mistake in every one, its not a good sign. Also the videos seems to repeat which incorrectly doubles up on the content. The previous 70-410 course content was fantastic. This stuff is only slightly better than youtube and technet articles.

Thank you very much. I (almost exclusively) used this course to prepare for exam 70-411, and managed to pass it yesterday. I also setup a test server where I could install run the Windows Server roles and features in a live environment. Thank you for a great course, and keep up the good work. Henko
