Reviews
Lots of great information! The last assignment was pretty challenging. Make sure to include what specific action, service, or product you would recommend and why it would help solve the problem.
I am glad to have complete this course outline in System admin and IT infrastructure services. Thank you the all the tutors, Google and JAN for making this a dream come true. I am very grateful
As someone who is currently working as an independent IT specialist for small businesses I have found the course very educational and well done. I plan to continue with the courser experience.
It's harder for me to understand some things in this course because Active directly seems so abstract, I wish I could play around with it to fully grasp it. More visuals would be helpful as well
