Aruba Networking Essentials is a fantastic entry point into networking! The course explains core concepts like VLANs, OSI layers, and Aruba OS-CX commands in a clear, beginner-friendly way. The labs and troubleshooting demos make it practical, not just theory. David Bombal’s teaching style keeps it engaging, and the free certificate is a great bonus. Highly recommended for anyone starting their networking journey or adding Aruba skills to their toolkit

This course was easy to understand, and the instructor provided a great breakdown of information for each of the sections.

I am happy to find English native speakers lecturing courses like. Although there are a lot of techies, not English native speakers they are very good at teaching but some accents are quite hard to listen to for long hours. This is why I am feeling comfortable here so far.

I have only one switch from HP. Aruba is currently out of my interest. But I really like the way they explain things. Maybe some day I will get my hands on some cheep second hand Aruba and compare it to my HP Switch :)
