After trying CertMaster, Dion, and Andrew's courses, I can confidently say Andrew has the best learning materials!!! Andrew actually shows you how things are done and doesn't just throw terminology at you without explanation. It doesn't feel like I am just trying to memorize terms for the exam, but to see how they actually function in a real-world scenario. THE BEST HANDS DOWN!!!

It keeps me engaged, and makes it easy to understand. I also like how he breaks up the information in bite sized pieces so it is easy to retain

I had a great experience with this CompTIA A+ course. The material was well organized, easy to follow, and covered all the key topics needed for the certification exam. The instructor explained complex concepts in a clear, practical way and included real-world examples that made the lessons more engaging and easier to understand.

Passed the exam, the course was great. 14 hours sounds like a a lot but he engages in such a great way the videos were fun to get through. Anytime the course instructor has an individual video where he is demonstrating something in person, PAY ATTENTION please. The exam has performance based questions that are tough but his labs will help you get through them if you think a little. His Youtube video on 100 practice exams were fantastic because how it can possibly appear on the exam. Overall would recommend him again, great teacher who has a passion for this. Thanks Andrew.

Andrew is an excellent teacher, giving visual explanations and making you feel you are learning from each of his videos. I do recommend anyone who needs a refresher course on A+ or needs to learn about computers to purchase Andrew's lectures.
By Jack Cashwell on 6/3/2026
The course is good and I really enjoy Mr. Ramdayal's teaching style, but there are MANY typos/mistakes in written parts such as the end of section quizzes. The subtitles are also auto-generated and inaccurate - for something I am paying for I expect accurate subtitles, and without them your course is inaccessible to hearing-impaired students.
By Quinn Fontaine on 5/30/2026
I would say overall this course is going to give you about 90-95% of what you need to pass the test without any additional resources (excluding tests). I would still highly recommend this course though. The reasoning as why i only say 90-95%, is I believe Andrews explanation on some topics can be a bit shallow, and some of the information provided contradicts what other people say. None of these are anything major, but they were things i noticed (Talking less then 5 total contradictions of minor things).
By Jasmyn Rife on 5/10/2026
I would highly recommend this course. I love how in-depth these videos go into the material. Being someone who is new to the Technology field this course has boosted my confidence in computers. When I take my practice tests I am not making educated guesses but looking at all possible answers and talking myself through why each one is wrong until I find the right answer.
By Anna Bamsey on 3/18/2026
Highly recommend, especially for first-time learners! I used this course to prepare for my Core1 exam and passed. Andrew Ramdayal has an amazing teaching approach. He explains things clearly and makes complex topics easy to understand. Thank you so much!
By Alec Tesar on 2/23/2026
I watched the videos for 220-1202 and I made a 721 on the exam. I absolutely love the videos since that is the way I learn best rather than having to read hundreds of chapters just to forget it by the end. So now I will now be watching 220-1201 in preparation of the exam.
