I started this course with no knowledge of windows server, now I feel more comfortable with task that I will be facing in the future.

By Robinson Saez on 11/15/2020

It is a regular course. He is guessing most of the time. He does not for a fact too many things so he starts guessing and trying and clicking everywhere until he finds an answer or at least what he believes is the answer (wrong answer most of the time).

By Girum Kebede Seifu on 11/15/2020

By Sindhu S on 10/20/2020

I was skeptical of this course initially and brought it thinking will return it on 30 days. but this is totally worth every penny. I finished the course in 30 days. am so proud. the best part is the handouts he gives , I really liked them. explanations is so good and simple. I work in IT and still I discovered lot of new things. no course is too long that you lose interest, i love the excitement and enthusiasm trainer has explaining content.
Am so proud and thankful to the trainer. yet another course completion to my list . for sure will try his other courses.
just FYI last module, install oracle VirtualBox on MAC does not have audio.
