Great course, lots of very challenging and useful information. You'll learn about Linux and some of the inner workings of Windows, plus lots of tools and programs that are really useful. Great course!

Labs were an issue in this one. Ironically genuine troubleshooting was required but resolution required escalation support.

I would have given it a 5/5 if all of the labs were working correctly on my first try. Overall, great information and labs.

the pace was a little too fast to properly memorize or familiarize yourself with the commands in Ubuntu.

I liked it though!

The material was informative, but I wish the course was more interactive than just 1 virtual lab at the end of each week.

High information load but totally necessary. Learned so much about many facets of OS which we take for granted everyday.

I can't truly say I am completely confident with linux and using bash, but it definitely gave me a decent introduction.

Overall a good course, I feel like there could be some deeper information presented, especially in regards to Windows.

It was easy, clear and somewhat precise, though I wished that it would be in much greater detail; as in commands usage.

It would be very useful if you are brand new to it support. If you have some experience it could be a little redundant.

Learned a ton, but I wish the week-end tests were more like the final, without holding your hand as you go through it.

Course was fine, only deducted a star due to a couple hiccups in Qwiklabs, that delayed my completion of the course.

A bit harder to navigate the tests. The last week was the hardest. Knowing what to look for could have been helpful.

It was an awesome experience, but you should include more complex practical labs like the final one in between too.
