I am a new member and I enrolled in your CCNP course, and I notice that you explain without clarifying the steps or even how to download the application that we need to work on... You explain as if the student knows everything! It's explained well, more theoretically than practically, but it's very quick in practical explanation.
By Mihai Talpalaru on 7/17/2024
Very well organized. Very good Info. I like the presenter style. Sometimes the setup of the labs is to repetitive... 30-50% of the labs is the same adding devices and setting IP addresses. This is very good in the first 3-4 Labs but at later stages, the time required could have been used beter.

This a get your hands dirty type of course. You get a deep-dive into the material with actual demonstrations. On top of that, Ahmad provides instructions on setting up your own EVE server plus tons of images! You need to invest some time in getting it all set up but it is possible to recreate everything that Ahmad shows you in the course so you can do it yourself HANDS-ON. I only saw one bad review for this course and that person obviously didn't appreciate (or even realize?) everything that Ahmad offers with this course. I bought this course on sale and it's amazing what you can get out of this course if you put in the effort. Compare that to the expensive official Cisco training.

Lab Material is good, Course structure is good. But the Lecturer should improve English pronounciation. If you are uploading your Lecture in Udemy, you should keep in mind that your students are now global and not limited to Asia. Like it is Zombie and not "Zombia".Some example are really stupid. Since the course is basic for CCIE and CCNP , i think some basic topic are time wasting. people like me having more than 10 years of experience is really boring sometime during the Lecture. The course is too lengthy and could be shortened. The Lectures are from 2020 , I think new Lectures needs to be recorded and uploaded. The Course is not worthy of the Price. The Course could be more Professional and standard.

A great show by Ahamed. He has in-depth knowledge about the course and his teaching was quite good. He showed every topic with a lab demo which was pretty good to understand the concept in-depth. I would highly recommend this course for anyone want to do SCOR.

Great course. Instructor will show you how to initiate the attacks and how to prevent them. Its like playing an offensive and defensive role at a same time. End of the day, you will get what you are paying for, :)
