I have been in the technology field for more than 20 years. I have been a high performing Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) since 2000 and a Cisco Certified Systems Instructor since 2006. I began my career in telecommunications more than 20 years ago. Since then I have worked as a Systems Admin, Network Admin, System integrator, Solutions Architect, and CTO. My courses are not presentations that rely on slides to explain concepts. My goal is to demonstrate every concept covered, instead of using slides that cover theory, we will use the interface to configure every setting that is discussed. In my view, if you do not know how to complete a task that a course covered, that course was not beneficial. I will make sure that you know how to complete each task and the various configurations for those tasks.

Overall, very good and informative material provided here in easy language. Lesson 57 needs reloaded as it stuck for me and had to download to mobile to watch it from there rather than my laptop.

One aspect that stood out was the hands-on labs and exercises. These practical exercises allowed me to apply the theoretical knowledge I gained throughout the course. It was a fantastic opportunity to practice what I learned in a controlled environment, which I believe is essential for truly understanding a complex technology like Azure AD.

Wow this is an amazing training session, very interesting to learn and now I am even more interested to learn deep dive into this module and continue learning. Thank you for explaining in simple and easy methods, which we can just do demo while learning. Now I know many topics and can-do re-pro on Active Directory. I would suggest this for beginners, sure they will be pro by end of training.

Perfect course for a deep dive into Azure AD, it goes from basic theory to give as many actual hands-on examples as possible. And Kevin is truly amazing at teaching, no joke. Really wish Kevin had an Azure DevOps course, I feel like Kevin could really teach anyone anything from scratch to master level. I will get more courses from him in the near future. Cheers from Mexico City.

I'm currently studying for the MS-500 exam and wanted to know a little more about Azure AD. This is the 2nd course on Udemy I've finished, and I really love it! Kevin is an excellent, engaging teacher. Highly recommended!

Excellent course for a brief overview of Azure AD. Definitely recommend for users new to Azure or to Admins that need a refresher. Easy to understand and he talks slow enough that you can understand him at 2x playback.

I'd really like to thank Mr. Brown for all their efforts and time in making this course. It was very comprehensive and easy to follow along. The content was explained with great detail. I definitely have a greater understanding of Azure Active Directory and feel comfortable exploring things further. All in all the course was a lot of fun to follow through and create my own Azure AD environment using the skills learnt. Thanks Mr. Brown.

Now, I have fundamental training in Azure so I mainly used this as a refresher course. That being said, the instructor explained everything extremely well and gave examples during each explanation. It made following along easy and this is definitely a course that I would recommend frequenting to make sure you don't lose Azure knowledge!
By Vincent Oppong on 7/8/2022
Kevin Brown is a very Great Teacher! I have taken 2 of his courses on here and I honestly recommend his course to everyone who wants to learn anything IT. He breaks it down so very that even a beginner will understand and if you are an expert, you will gain some extra knowledge beyond what you've known. I love you Kevin, you've been a great blessing to me in my IT career!

I am really thakful for the instructor who had dedicated his time and effort for this amazing in-depth look on Azure Active Direcetory. As for me, I am not a system Admin who would be asked to plan the structure and fucntionality of the infra-structures inside the Org. where I work as a software Developer. It is really important to take such a course and try to understand the use cases and the right place whre to apply this solution. This course gives a an intro level overview to the Azure and why we need to apply it and helps you understand the outline of the backbone of the system-adminstration. All the best for the instructor as well as all learner who are still on the track.
