The teaching style is average. But yes almost cover all topic of F5. Cover all the basic of F5 LTM. During training this should be also focus, on what topic is a very important interview point of view and why.

By Anonymized User on 5/2/2023

why 3/5 - Audio quality - not in depth but too long, what was explained in 20h could be explained in 10h, when I saw 20h I thought its deep - some wrong information I had to google multiple stuff in order to get the correct answers as some of the things explained didn't make since.

By Leandro on 1/5/2023

Very clear explanations and demonstrations. Highly recommended! Hoping that the instructor launches a similar training for F5 DNS (former GTM)!

Well planned topic wise explanations ,detailed and deep drive sessions with practical lab simulation . Would love to see other videos of the same Instructor .

By Danilo Nogueira Ulbrecht on 2/2/2021

Missing some advanced explanations and use cases, for example, design options like one-armed, Direct servers return, AWS integration, and so on ... I also missed detailed explanations about when using each of virtual server types, again showing us use cases. In general, is a very good course and you will learn basics/intermediate things and of course, you will learn how to set up and deploy Big IP system in standalone or HA scenarios.

By Akil Chisty on 1/17/2021

He is an amazing teacher. I always enjoy his classes, the way he explained Step-by-Step clarification, notes and well organized Labs. Thank you.
