Look at breaking the 7 minute presentations into a 4 minute and 3 to get to 7minutes. Remind at end of the 4 minute what was presented and how this will make Windows Admin's lives better.

Lab simulation was really great experience. it's interesting that we had both practical and theory together. Almost all the topics were covered and good to go for beginners
By Anonymized User on 2/3/2025

By Anonymized User on 9/19/2023
Best thing about this course is it will have handon lab which is must requried to learn any course. Course is very informative for the real time situations.
By Abhishek Nagare on 5/14/2023
Loved the teaching way & how all points were covered with proper theory & practical knowledge. Concepts explained in easy language with good example which makes learning a cake walk.
By Clifton Washington on 9/12/2022
Labs are cool, but not enough info in the course to feel confident about taking the exam. The bonus material on setting up a virtual network throws studying off.
By Anonymized User on 5/18/2022
This was an excellent introduction. My next step will be looking at Azure Active Directory Domain Services. I am primarily an AD Admin working for an MSP. My goal is to leverage AADDS across multiple small businesses with no on-prem AD and to push security setting out via GPO.
By Anonymized User on 3/3/2022
This was a good introductory course for me. After completing this course I have an understanding of other areas in Azure I would like to explore.
By Anna Kostecka on 1/14/2022
I liked labs a lot. The theory portion felt at times a bit dry and not engaging but I realize that it's not that easy to make it different, unless instructor can inject real life stories, examples etc..
By Anonymized User on 11/18/2021
Thorough presentation and explanation of the Azure AD fundamentals, as well as a novel approach to practicals (using a web-based demo 'lab'). Only recommendation would be to draw a clearer distinction between AzureAD and AzureAD Domain Services - Section 3.6 was not clear enough I feel.
