Straight and to the point...I liked the no B.S., no fluff courses.

Very basic course about study. Nothing ground breaking here. A few things would make it more valuable 1. Provide an example of how to read the book while you are reading it. 2. The section of how to take notes is too long. We get it after 1-2 paragraphs. Its not needed to go over the whole IBM article which is not interesting to the viewer.

I enjoy hearing about study techniques. Everyone has a different style. There are some excellent habits in this course that apply to IT certs but also many other things. Great work. - edit Might consider normalizing your audio levels. I noticed it was a tad inconsistent from one lecture to the next. Audacity has some great tools for that. Excellent information nonetheless. I'm off to study.

This one is a great course, it will teach you the foundations to get certified and more importantly, it will give you what you need to begin your journey. If before doing something you need someone to motivate you while telling you a successful story. You need to take this Udemy course. It's not only for the beginner it's also for everybody that needs to be reminded to focus and work hard to #GetCertified. While providing a bullet proof system that you can implement.

Simple narration of slides. No real-world examples or illustrations from the author. Very boring and non-informative.

Definitely a good approach to prepare for examinations.Thank you for such an insightful course.

It was simplified I. Terms of explanation and videos , everything was broken down to the understanding of a new or an entry level IT person’s understanding

its a very good course to Organize your Cert Training at the same time you could apply some of the lessons to real life.

Good quality advise and pointers. Edgar has a philosophy down, I would take what would pertain to you and apply it. Overall It's a great collection of advise that I'm okay with spending the money to watch.
