Kevin Brown
I have been in the technology field for more than 20 years. I have been a high performing Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) since 2000 and a Cisco Certified Systems Instructor since 2006. I began my career in telecommunications more than 20 years ago. Since then I have worked as a Systems Admin, Network Admin, System integrator, Solutions Architect, and CTO. My courses are not presentations that rely on slides to explain concepts. My goal is to demonstrate every concept covered, instead of using slides that cover theory, we will use the interface to configure every setting that is discussed. In my view, if you do not know how to complete a task that a course covered, that course was not beneficial. I will make sure that you know how to complete each task and the various configurations for those tasks.

Verify professional, knowledgeable and incorporates the "standard" with advanced integration, which is highly important to one's overall success. Great course material.
By Okemo Hodge on 7/27/2026
Thanks for the course. All the new features, Hotpatching, Active Directory Enhancements, SMB over QUIC, Dtrace, and the Modernized Interface, were all explained with examples. The bonus: Microsoft Azure was the cherry on the top. You are a true master at your craft. I knew that you were a good teacher when I took your Windows Server 2016 course.

It would be better if the information were fully prepared and explained. The dynamic of drawing text with colors sometimes makes the content confusing."

I’ve really enjoyed this training so far. The lessons are clear and easy to follow, and the way everything is explained makes it simple to understand. It’s been very useful and practical, and I feel like I’m learning a lot. Overall, it’s been a great experience and definitely worth it.

Thank you, Kevin Brown. The Windows Server 2025 training was highly informative, especially the deep dive into new security enhancements and management improvements. The hands‑on labs made it easy to understand Hyper‑V, AD DS updates, and modern deployment workflows, giving me the confidence to apply these skills in real environments.
By Mohammad Shadab Amarkhil on 2/4/2026
The instructor is outstanding with explaining the concepts. It shows his actual hands on experience. And it is what he actually did and still does every day. That is what we call a real teacher.
