Learn from others! Here are some reviews from participants (Click on reviews to see full list of reviews)
- Great Material - This course is a great reference and way to refresh your skills for the new Net+ exam! I needed a good refresh before taking the exam and this course is clearly laid out and copiously covers the material for the exam. Great course, well worth the money! -- M.B.
- Perfect Course - Not only do you get great lectures that are pretty much PowerPoints with an instructor teaching you the concepts, there are also Demo lectures that show you how each of the concepts works in real life. This is such valuable information to have when taking the test. I feel very confident that this course is the best course on Udemy. -- D.R. Jr.
- A Complete Jumpstart - What has impressed me the most is the depth of the content to this coarse. Each HD video is crystal clear in both the visual and audio, even including quality closed captioning (great for reading along with the lectures). I wasn't interested in the flashcards or the crossword puzzles when I started the program, but I've found them to be very useful in staying engaged in the class when away from home. This is everything you need to get started and have a classroom quality experience from home. Dive in and stay focused! -- P.C.

Amazingly practical. Easy to follow. Nice level of detail, not too much but full of stuff you can research later
By Javier Quilez Cabello on 2/2/2017
Very clear explanations. The teachers make a great job and the demostrations help me to understand all the topics.

This is nice,comprehensive compound course delivered by two instructors . Material is explained in clear way and easy chunk-able pieces. Lots of supporting documents. Really speaking very professional and recommended course.
By Steve Watkins on 12/27/2016
Really informative course. Good information presented in a organized structure (discussion and then demonstration). Delivery could be a little smoother. In the demonstrations it would be nice if you were to take us through the process of setting up a new organization.
By Yanet Samad on 6/3/2016
I Liked it but the person that did the demonstration was sleepy all the time and made some silly mistakes entering commands and email addresses that a Microsoft expert should do better or at least create the video again. In general, the course is really simple and very easy to understand.

This is very interesting. I am convinced that by the time I finish this course my understanding of windows servers will shoot through the roof.
By Rod B on 1/19/2016
As someone new to the Windows 2012/R2 server, I can tell that I have learned a lot by taking this course. I went through short videos on the daily basis until I have completed the course. The powerpoint slides make the presentation more enjoyable. The reason I gave it a four stars, its because of minor errors that I saw mostly related to demonstration labs. When the presenter encountered an error and could not completed the lab, he basically said "just wanted to show you the process." I am ot sure how they published the videos if they could not complete the lab. Anyway, the course is good for understanding and learning the subject. If you want to pass the test, you need to buy books and practice labs. You can build your own lab by using a PC with High memory and VMware workstation software or you can purchase labs from Boson (http://www.boson.com/online-practice-labs) which I used through out the course while watching the Leansmart training videos. My intention was not certification, but just to learn. Therefore this course satisfied my need.
