This course helped a lot , the videos explain more detail and taking this course with practice test helped me get my certificate .

By Jennifer Doctor on 3/28/2026

The improvements recently made to the course presentation are a good step. I like the structure of each video, they are clear and concise. However, I have noticed many typos and confusing visuals that were clearly made by AI (Gemini logo in corner). The flow charts are often incomplete, and I am concerned that my learning experience is incomplete or inaccurate because the course creators could not take the time to create visuals by hand to clearly illustrate abstract concepts. I know AI is being used in other ways, because one of the quiz questions in Cleanup & Restoration is literally just "here is a script, write one question, explanation, and four multiple choice answers (one being correct)". I am disappointed, because when I used Dion Training courses to prepare for other CompTIA exams in the past, I thought they were very well done.

I am enjoying it so far, its just as good as the other dion courses I've used in the past

By Eliezer Paredes Lasose on 3/10/2026

Los instructores hacen que el material sea super sencillo y facil de comprender!

By Donald Ferguson on 2/21/2026

I really appreciate the extensive work that went into creating this. There is some repetition throughout the course, and the notes provided do not include all lecture content. Appreciate the focus on preparation for the certification exam.

By Zach Hightower on 2/19/2026

I think this is great training and I appreciate the hard work you all have done to better explain CompTIA's nonsense.

By Michael Valcicak on 2/9/2026

I have to give a 5 star since the course obviously prepared me enough to pass the first try and this was 95% of what I used to study. I have never felt super confident on my CompTIA exams since they always feel so different than any practice exam, I take beforehand. I will say though that, at least from what I experienced in my CompTIA exam, is that the questions were SUPER syntax, coding, and flag knowledge heavy. I would say to maybe add more emphasis on understanding syntax and tags across the tools, but there are so many it feels like more luck of the draw if you get asked on the ones you know or not. Either way, for a one stop shop this is the 3rd certification I have passed thanks to Dion and I will continue using him as long as the track record holds up! Look forward to a SecAI course soon? :)

By Jeffrey Miller on 12/26/2025

Have used Dion's training to pass A+ all the way to CySA, let's hope I pass this exam as well! Thanks for the great learning material.

By Sergio Acevedo on 11/6/2025

Excellent match for any penetration tester. Excellent course. I m ready to take the exam and this curse gave me so much confidence. Thanks

By Anonymized User on 10/28/2025

The contents of the course are adequate but the slides shown are mostly useless. Lots of shutterstock pictures that don't help at all, other slides just show in text what the teacher is saying, and a lot of diagrams missing that could help to understand the lesson.
