I can t see a damn thing in these videos. Either 480p or 720p resolution, there is no difference. I tried to give it another go, but it doesn t work. I have watched only 7 videos. I would like to get a refund.

The course started well, but then there was only lots of information. There are no practical examples in the last chapters. On the other hand, he speaks faster like he is in a hurry.

This is a great course to start your journey with. I knew nothing about Microsoft Windows Server 2022 when I bought this course but now I know and have confidence 100% thank you and I liked your Australian accent.

Very good course! Emilio did a good job breaking down the information to be digestible for all user levels. He made it clear that this course provided a basic or initial introduction to server administration/management. I look forward to updates and more topics in his course collections.
By Marcin Kowalczyk on 3/25/2024
Good basics for beginners. I wanted to give you 5 stars, but quality of many videos is just to low to watch it in comfortable way - especially these about configuration where text is very small. To sum up very good course, I think I will buy more from You. Ooh... please try speaking a little bit slower :)
By Dan Nicholson on 2/29/2024
Such a comprehensive and well-delivered course, very helpful! I will definitely be purchasing more courses from you. Easy to understand and follow, touched on a broad range of concepts. Thank you :)
By Christopher Barber on 2/1/2024
Great, I like how he captures attention with hand gestures, loud voice, physical appearance with images and visualizations. He tries to make it fun and interesting. Much better than other classes I've taken on the same subject.

Great intro course to Windows Server 2022. I feel more confident now in applying for entry level IT jobs. The course design is an inspiration for my own courses as well.
By Mohammed Danish Azim Shaikh on 6/22/2023
Man you explanation is too good. I was stuck at my screen throughout the course. I would love to buy your other courses and will also wait if you update this one. Cheers!
