By Ioannis Kapnisakis on 7/26/2020
Well explained course with good support (fast reply) from the instructor.
However, I would prefer quiz to all sections and maybe some exercises apart from the lab sessions.
Some content is missing from this course compared with the RHSA I book.
I would recommend this course from Shikhar

Overall good course, Request you to add more questions in quiz with increased difficulty level.
Please add one mega quiz at the end from all sections to test what we learned by end of the course, this is just increase confidence level and comfortable working in Linux environment.
