With interest into networking, he obtained his CCNA and CCNP. After obtaining his certification he moved to a technical manager position managing both systems and network infrastructure.

"It is difficult and expensive to get hands on material covering the latest products like Sourcefire, PaloAlto, and Fortinet. I am making those classes to give students the education they need at a reasonable cost - with practical experience backing it. I try to go the extra step showing how the product works and show configuration by providing an example that works in real life. Not just covering the concepts."

So far so good explains the purpose and goals of what he is trying to do with this course

By Haseeb Nasir Ali on 11/1/2020

I think the way technologies are explained, its quite hands-on until now and focus more on implementation. I like it. In terms of explaining concepts behind these technologies, it can be better, however I believe the approach of PCNSE exam is more towards implementation and hence hands-on approach would be more appropriate. Until now I am satisfied

The course is very good. I would like to see some of the configuration examples down a little slower. I am looking to obtain knowledge for my new job. Obviously, not all PAN scenarios will be used, but the capability to do so and reference back to the coursework will be great reference material
