So far i have gone through the RF Signals and the explanation is ok and to the point. for extra info you need to dig more deeper but that i think is not required here. it is a good course the only reason i have given 3.5 because it is asking me again and again.. it should ask me after completing the course.

By Ahmad Faisal Noory on 3/18/2026

It was a really interesting course, and I am just wondering, as the course seems to be an old course, does it still cover the topics that have been recently introduced, and how confident should I be, going for CWNA certification after taking this course?

By Moreem on 2/24/2026

i am a tech support, this course has helped me understand networking better. The instructor breaks down network jargons in a way that's understandable for people who are beginning their networking journey!

El hecho de que haya un profesor explicando las transparencias ayuda mucho a hacerlo más interesante y dinámico. Me está pareciendo bastante interesante pero sí que es cierto que la cantidad de siglas que hay es tremenda.

By Jono Thompson on 1/4/2026

Ken presents this material really well; it's very easy to follow, and everything is excellently explained. Ken has an excellent presentation skill. I have learn new things from this course However, this course is very dated and doesn't go beyond the 802.11 -2012 revision and touches on the 802.11ac amendment. This course covers the basics and the theory of RF really well, but this course alone is not enough to pass the current CWNA-109 course, as there is way more knowledge needed for the current syllabus

By Jonathan Robles on 12/23/2025

As someone who is learning this for the first time, this instructor made it easy to understand and even made jokes along the way. Great way to start the journey to the CWNA

By Bilal Quamine on 11/2/2023

I read the other review about it not being too engaging before I started. I think it was just fine for the subject. The instructor seems knowledgeable as well. He rambles on certain parts but it kinda ties back together. All-in-all a solid course, would recommend.

By James Overbeck Jr. on 11/8/2020

Just the right balance of information I already know and somewhat new information. I remember reading about ALOHA in mid 90s university classes.

By John Day on 11/8/2020

It was good thanks.

By Matthew Younger on 10/21/2020

Took this for the company I now work for. Good overview, not sure how it matches up to the official course yet. Hopefully it's been a good primer!

By Ahmad Suhkhi Aziz Agus on 10/20/2020

no, issue there was a travel time of wireless tech

By William Bishop on 10/20/2020

its okay so far, not very engaging thus far....it may improve
edit, it did improve, the material is drier than dirt though....not his fault.
At the halfway mark, I'd give him high marks for his work. Yes, the material is tedious, but I'm not sure theres a better way to present it.
