The accent is very thick and I find it difficult to understand certain words so I have to keep pausing or replaying segments. Typos in the slides are discouraging but it's still early in the course.

Ottimo corso, mancano un po' i nozioni sulla parte di rete, NAT, QoS e VLAN e come eseguire script se un utente seleziona un DTMF

I have done VoIP work for over 10 years. Almost all of it on ShoreTel/Mitel Connect systems. This course was helpful in introducing me to the world of FreePBX and Asterisk.

Great course and instructor. I think that you have to create some more chapters for the latest version of Freepbx, because this course is for a very old version. Thanks

Instructor's accent is VERY hard to understand, and he speaks too quickly, moving through different settings without taking time to explain, or for the student to take notes. Video didn't always line up with audio (1-2 second lag), especially in later lessons.

This courses mises steps like setting up a VirtualBox for the FreePBX (for new or first-time users), also does not have any real answers on issues found. Very slow support. Also, it would have been nice to add an alternative step for VPS setup. The suppost is poor and terrible. Skipping too many steps, laying the foundation before doing the FreePBX.

The instructor address all of the questions I had regarding the "ground up" configuration of a FreePBX SIP Server

I recently got employed by a company using the FreePBX platform and this course helped me get some things straight and offered me a quick and clear understanding of FreePBX's functions, on a basic level of course. As it is an introductory course on VoIP and FPBX I would like more info on VoIP, how it works, what are the advantages of the technology etc, before going into the specifics of how we set up this and that. A little bit depth would be nice as well. The instructor's accent was sometimes a bit annoying for my delicate ears, but no big deal. A better mic, and/or a post processing action to lower the high pitch extremes would be welcomed on next courses.

The course give me more knowledge in administering FreePBX, however I wish that he added more info in other modules like parking, creating you own dialplan with config edit, but all in all it is a good one.

Good course on getting started with FreePBX. Instructor was very knowledgeable and kept a fast pace. As a small note, I found I needed to rewind a few times to understand what he was presenting. He does a great job of talking about common telephony terms and how to setup FreePBX from the ISO image. A good course if you want to get a jump start on setting up a basic system. The few additions that I think would greatly help are (1) An example of a SIP connection was presented to connect two remote installations of FreePBX. Good information. Would like to see an example using common SIP providers like DIgium, SipStation, Call Centric, VoIP.MS, etc... (2) would love to see a little more on system diagnostics. Not a full blown discussion, just some of the more common tasks like figuring out how to trace a call from desktop out or provider in. Just a couple of examples that would help a lot. Course is till worth the time.

The Instructor's pace throughout the content was good however I feel a little more effort should be put in proof reading the presentation slides and adherence to grammar. Thanks!
