Recommendations:
Learn from others! Here are some reviews from participants (Click on reviews to see full list of reviews)
- Great Material - This course is a great reference and way to refresh your skills for the new A+ 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 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.

By Maria Delores Sanfilippo on 6/29/2020
the information is being delivered at a good rate to hear and memorize whats being said, there are diagrams and visual to go with the what is being delivered. the skipping around is not so much.
By Priscilla Santos on 5/28/2020
I am very satisfied with this course, it is the 2nd in the series I have taken to prepare for the CompTIA's A+ exam and as the first course it was very easy to follow and very informative. The quizzes let you know where you are in learning the material so you can go back to review material you may need a better understanding on. I would recommend this series of courses.

In my own experience, while taking this course, it has really helped me to understand concepts that i can apply when doing my day to day job.
By Chaun Farmer on 3/27/2019
Sound quality dies out half way through and randomly it becomes hard to hear what he is saying. A few questions are also outdated on the check on learning exams
By Anonymized User on 2/25/2019
Enjoyed it. Perfect for Absolute beginners. POV printer section needs few more lessons otherwise all (PC) is covered well. Cheers, LBelo

This course is good if you are a beginner to computer systems and hardware. It actually goes really in-depth and that was fairly helpful. I learned some new tricks that I didn't know before. The videos need to be tweaked a bit, sometimes the demonstrations don't show what the instructor is talking about or pointing out such as during the Motherboard components videos. Lastly, some of the quizzes need to be re-tooled as well because there are a few questions that have the wrong answer as the correct answer and the correct answer as the wrong answer.
By George C Richards on 11/5/2017
Coverage is comprehensive and detailed. The segments are not verbose so note-taking and bookmarking may be needed for retention. The demos and quizzes help a great deal.
By Monica Barragan on 3/28/2017
Instructor is very clean when he explains, makes it easy to comprehend the material.
