Great Course, well Presented.

By Learning How To Learn on 7/18/2023

This course gives you the basics of what you need to start your own virtualized lab to learn in. Don't expect to come out of this with an in-depth understanding of either VirtualBox or Windows Server though. I understood that before purchasing the course so for me, this course fit the bill perfectly. It does touch on some dos and don'ts of VirtualBox though which I found helpful. I would recommend this course to those who need to hit the ground running with VirtualBox and Windows Server. Best to pick this course up during a weekly sale.

This has been everything I thought it would be. I am currently learning about the foundation of being apart of cybersecurity, and this is a great help!

By Gary Axton on 12/31/2022

Clear instruction and guidance for beginners. I like the bite size videos. My only minor criticism is the content is attached to individual videos rather than a Section; it can be quire tedious printing each one off individually.

By Nathin Birkrem on 8/28/2022

I thought this course was a solid introduction to VirtualBox and setting up your own virtual lan/network. I look forward to taking your Introduction to Windows Server 2016 for Beginners course.

By Adonor Bright Adonor on 6/18/2022

The course is easy to understand, the instructor is calm and is very knowledgeable about the course. I will certainly recommend this course and buy more of Alton's courses.

By Lisa G on 1/13/2021

Ver well organized and easy to follow. I work in the field but wanted my own testing environment to practice for potential clients needs so this will help tremendously with that. Thanks so much for this great course, great instructor overall!

By L. Mosely on 5/25/2020

The Instruction is clear and the principles are being presented in a form that is easily understandable.

By Barry Swords on 12/27/2019

This course manages to pack a lot of useful info into its short duration and having taken Alton's Microsoft MTA networking course previously I knew I would be in good hands as he is an excellent instructor. This course is perfect for people such as myself who are wanting to learn more about both VirtualBox and Windows Server. I really enjoyed it and will be looking to delve deeper into the topics covered here.

By Adebayo Bello on 5/23/2019

Well, I learned a lot i i could not believe it was only a 2.5 hours course, a lot was perfectly packaged inside this short course by the Instructor, thumbs up to him. glad i did the course.
