This course is amazing!! Such a good teacher. Manipulating your own Splunk instance instead of following someone's prebuilt training environment is such a good way to learn. I love this instructor's teaching and reinforcement style with labs. Now on to Splunk Admin to connect more pieces together

The videos are too long, explaining everything twice. They focus on explaining examples, but those examples won't appear on the exam.
