Good content and good flow

By Timothy Hoffpauir on 10/8/2025

Disappointing. Feels like they used ChatGPT to generate a script based on Wikipedia articles, and an AI voice generator trying too hard to sound human. While it may have touched on all of the right subjects, nothing was explained or related to in a way that provided any sort of context. While it's possible that it could be a decent review for someone who already knows all of the information, I wouldn't try to use it to learn anything new.

By Mehmet Mert Gunduz on 7/6/2025

Extremely bad, don't buy. Explanations are simple, 50% of those questions in the exam section is copied from some websites. Don't buy this course, you won't be able to pass the Linux+ XK0-005 with this.

By Brecht Willems on 1/9/2024

Disappointing. This product was advertised as highly rated, but unfortunately, it did not meet expectations. The explanation was insufficient, and there were harldy any simulations. I wouldn't recommend it

By Vandelun Amokaha on 12/14/2023
