Very informative and accessible. I'm looking to add some more course from John to my learning circular

Thanks a lot John for making a course for us, it very informative and you tried your best to cover all the topics. I have learnt lots of thing from your course. It’s encouraged us to go for the MS certification. Technical content point of view your course is awesome, however I was getting very low voice even I tried with the multiple Laptop. Please going forward add summary in end of each section also include a complete summary at the end of the course. It’s very helpful for us in many ways. It gives re-cap of entire section. If you go for interview, course can we revise in very short time.

Can't find a way to contact you. The audio is very low that it is hard to hear unless there is an external speaker or full volume. Have not completed the course yet so another review may yet to come

John does a very good job of teaching the practical aspects of what a Microsoft Administrator will be required to do in his/her day to day job, that is a fact. there are quite a few scenarios not covered but to be honest he gives the foundation the rest you can learn on-the-job. That being said I took the exam and I did not pass the exam, hardly anything I gathered in this course was reflected on the exam. I even took the course on Cloud Academy and nothing they taught and nothing in their practice exam came on the Exam. I studied from Microsoft learn as well and I was still way off. The point is, for many of us new to this journey, do not expect to take this course alone and be able to pass the exam. You have to review other materials. Nevertheless, thank you John, you put a lot of effort into the material, and I appreciate you for that. I now know a lot more about the M365 security landscape than I did before and am better able to guide my clients from a consultative perspective. I won't bother to make another attempt as the exam retires at the end of June 2023 and has been replaced by SC400 & 300 so I may try those

So far so good. Only comment is to update and drop the MSOL as support for the older Cmdlets using the ASM vs ARM interface is being dropped by Microsoft. Love the focus on PowerShell (Being a former writer on the "Hey Scripting Guy!" blog and PowerShell changing my career for the better)

Everything was fine so far. But the "Free" licenses page asked me to input a payment option, which I wasn't going to do.

I just had the exam and I had plenty of questions completely uncovered by this training and most of the material here was pretty much useless in preparation for the exam. Exam questions touch the knowledge from a completely different angle.

course was great and very informative. It will be great to give a discounted voucher to purchase your other course after successful completion of this one.

Could be improved by having set up some things in the demo in advance so that we could see the output of the eDiscovery and alerting.

Having taken the test, failed it, and then used something else to study and pass it on my second try, this course is not that relevant to the questions on the test.

While this class gives you foundational knowledge of understanding what the different parts of Azure are, it in no way should be the only source of information for this cert. 60% of the questions on the test are not covered in this course and it should be noted that you will need to do additional research to fully grasp these concepts before taking the exam. A lot has changed since the last time this course was updated and there are numerous concepts and features that are not covered such as : Information Barrier, Collecting Diagnostic Data, and setting up Defender for Identity Management.

I already love our instructor, John Christopher, and hope to meet him some day. His easy to understand English accent was refreshing (as opposed to some other capable instructors on other platforms wherein English was not their first language, unfortunately). John over-communicates, and while this may seem repetitive to some, it shows thoughtfulness and will help cement the material in memory. This course has made me excited to learn and earn the certification even though I’ve been a 365 admin for most of my 11-year IT career in an MSP organization.

I passed today with a score of 778. These videos helped a lot to understand the concepts and components of the exam. They also helped a lot with navigating the 365/Azure environment. I STRONGLY recommend that you go though some of Microsoft's Learn documents to deep dive into these topics and I would also strongly recommend that you do a few practice tests (There are a few good ones here on Udemy, just make sure that they are up to date). All in all, these videos of John were amazing, and I would definitely support him again. Please make sure that you are fully prepared. The exam was tough.
