Content is good but understanding what was being said at times was diffcult to understand due to the thick accent of the instructor.

By Koon Consulting on 9/22/2025

The course is short, clear and concise. Everything is very well explained. My only concern is there there are not enough assignments and tests to help reinforce whatever it is that we are learning. More comprehensive tests and assignments would be better in the future.

By Neel dhongde on 12/16/2024

There is no flow of teaching, no scope to understand even a single video or concept,. Without any basic concepts clarity just jumping on a screen. The reason I completed the course is to know what needs to learned (still could not uderstand. It's clearly a recorded lecture video uploaded as I could here someone answering "Yes" frequently (doesn't matter to me). Will apply for a refund as did not find a single video with understanding flow. Disappointed.

The instructor breaks down each command and concept in a way that’s easy to understand and follow, even for those with no prior scripting experience. I found the examples incredibly helpful, and by the end, I could create my own scripts. This course made learning PowerShell enjoyable and achievable.

Ideal for novices! With the use of concise examples, the course walks you through the fundamentals of PowerShell scripting. The realistic scenarios that mirrored work in the actual world were the most beneficial to me. I felt at ease automating simple things by the end, and the pace is perfect.
