The instructor demonstrates knowledge of the subject, explains the topics well and addresses the topic accurately, however, there are many slides and little demonstration and the little that shows ends up occurring technical problems that instead of solving end up ending the demonstration without the solution.

Instructor seemed knowledgeable on the topic and was able to relay that information effectively. But watching him fumble through most of the demos because his lab was not prepared properly was a little frustrating. It would only take a few hours to properly prepare a lab environment for this course. Would have been 4-4.5 stars if not for that.

It's a good course and definitely helpful in preparing for the exam. You will still need the official reference guide and many, many pages of online documentation from Technet and hours of practise.

I just wish there were more examples, demos, and greater detail provided. A lot is passively disregarded or assumed in knowledge. Even some of the demonstrations are messy and disorganized; where various mistakes are made or preparations are completely missed when creating the demos. Perhaps I paid for only an overview? I find it disappointing that I can find greater detail and extensive examples in courses that are provided for free on YouTube.. (i.e. ITFreeTraining)
