I like how the test taking tips and overview were extremely detailed before diving into each section.

This course is just boring because it is more lecture based. There is no interaction and very few graphics.

Very precise, simplifies, excellent format. Speaker kept it interesting. Love the accent. Excellent course. Easy to understand even for someone new to Security. I highly recommend it to anyone taking the Security+ exam.

Very nice course, at a steady pace, but some of the information is SUPER basic, and I'm in the intermediate level, this one is a bit too basic at the start but it gets better!

Seems honest. Taking the test tomorrow so I will have a better idea then. I really wish there were some examples or explanation of Performance Based Testing.... this is a big part of the exam I understand.

I thought this course was very informative and a lot of information was covered for the CompTia Security+ exam.

I wasn't expecting to have to write every detail of the SY0-401 book. I thought this course was going to touch the important items that will be found in the exam.

This is an okay course, but it is really just the instructor reading slides with a few tips on what to look for on the test. You will need to do any engaging with the material on your own.

Material was well presented, but it is fast paced. Because I haven't taken the test I can't say how well this course prepared me.

This course is basically the CompTIA Security+ Study guide sixth edition into a video lecture. It closely follows the book and helps greatly with studying for the exam.

Excellent course. While it doesn't cover everything (or in full detail), it gives a good foundation to get started, and you can use books and practice exams to build on this foundation to be able to pass the exam. I recommend this course as a good component of a study plan.
