This course was absolutely fantastic and exactly what I needed to pass my CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 exam! The material is incredibly well-structured, breaking down complex enterprise technologies and hardware concepts into clear, easy-to-understand lectures. Unlike other resources I've tried, the instructor's explanations were practical, engaging, and perfectly aligned with the official certification objectives. I gained so much confidence in my server administration skills, and the visual aids genuinely helped reinforce my learning. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to build a solid foundation and successfully earn their certification!

This course is decent for outlining exam content, but you'll definitely need more. There are a lot of useless graphics that you're eyes will inevitibly get lost in, while your brain desperatley tries to stay in tune with the AI voice that slowly eats away at your soul.

By ViSHAL SUTAR on 12/16/2025

the course was very well structured and easy to understand. the explanations were clear, practical and exceed my expectations. i gained valuable knowledge and confidence. highly recommended

By Jared McClure on 10/17/2025

I thought this was a pretty good course with a lot of great information but I did find the random videos embedded on presentations and images both a drain on bandwidth and unnecessary. Ideally, I would have just liked the slides to say what the speaker was saying. The closed captions were also inaccurate at times. One example is the close caption kept saying ohh you for an active directory OU.

By Kyle Young on 3/24/2025

I enrolled in this course as a refresher for a course I took previously and had put this certification on the back burner. There was some good info here especially as it's more or less a crash course to prepare for the exam. I will say some slides need a little work. One example was a 6 step slide that went from step 2 to step 4 and another step 4 skipping what should have been step 3. Nit picky observations I made. Otherwise, it was a good refresher course from I took previously and added onto what I had taken previously.

By Davis Holiday on 1/25/2025

There was no course content to download for off-line studying. Many of the slides had generic IT images and did not follow what was being discussed in the audio. Many of the slides did not explain the terms / concepts. In the end I had to buy a book to feel confident enough to pass the exam.

By Luis Vega on 12/30/2024

This course was fantastic! Having server experience I did catch up/reviewed some stuff and learned new stuff I do not touch everyday. I'm now ready for my exam. The only complain I have is that one the quizzes and the last exam the explanation for the answers was not given although the popup appear saying it did. If you guys can fix that I will give you a 5 star!

By Tan Choon Leng on 4/16/2024

Hi Udemy, the CompTIA Server+ online training is easy to follow. Trainer is trying his best to make course simple though is tough. Please keep up the good work. Thanks.

By James Gorycki on 9/19/2023

Great job explaining RAID technologies. In my previous job, we had windows servers running DHCP and Authentication for wired and wireless clients, so downtime had to be a minimal. We had redundant servers AND RAID technology (At least RAID 1 in many cases). Now that I made it halfway, this course is giving me more confidence every day in passing the Server+ exam. Thank you.

By Joseph Laboca on 8/9/2023

So far in this course, it appears to be appropriately paced for my skillset. I lightly administer servers so some of the material is not new to me while other course material will surely be new for me.
