Our take

Based on the ratings of 124 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in October 2024. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a short exam-prep course for the ITS Device Configuration and Management certification, built around Windows 10. It runs about 3.7 hours over 34 lectures in seven sections: installation and editions, applications and peripherals, files and shares, device security, troubleshooting, and a few extras on handy Windows apps. It is pitched at beginners, though the requirements expect basic IT skills and a feel for networking terms like ipconfig. Think of it as a focused tour of what the exam asks, not a general Windows administration class.

Reviewers like the structure. One says the step by step presentation makes each exam topic easy to understand, and likes that students are told to research further on their own. Another credits Marious Kuriata with good training videos that draw on his experience, and his bio claims 20 years in IT. Criticism in the sample is thin. One reviewer gave two stars because lessons 26 and 28 are the same. Of 124 ratings, 107 are four or five stars and seven are one or two.

At 451 students and a 4.3 rating, it is a small course with a good reception. The last update was October 2024. The description promises a quiz after each chapter, but the course data lists no quiz items, so pair it with official practice questions before booking the exam. Application and peripheral management gets only two short lectures, so that area may feel light. It makes sense as a fast first pass for exam candidates. Anyone after deeper Windows skills should look elsewhere.

Best forBeginners preparing for the ITS Device Configuration and Management exam who want a quick Windows 10 overview.

Skip it ifYou want hands-on, deep Windows administration or anything beyond Windows 10 and this one exam.

Pros

Step by step lectures that reviewers say make each exam topic easy to follow
Short at about 3.7 hours, so it fits into a few evenings of exam prep
Seven sections cover installation, shares, security and troubleshooting
Instructor lists 20 years in IT, and reviewers call the videos good quality

Cons

One reviewer reports that lessons 26 and 28 are the same
Application and peripheral management gets just two lectures, about 10 minutes
Chapter quizzes are promised in the description, but the course data lists none

The step by step presentation makes it easy to understand. Detailing the each topic that needs to been known for the exams and advise to student to do more research on the topics makes sense in every way
