Testimonials
Desmond H.
I've gone through 100% of the course. The 3+ hour sections were definitely long, but when I finally pushed through the last "long" section, there was such a huge relief that I was finishing up. This course is super engaging.
Mike Meyers, you, sir, are an incredible teacher, and your examples and stories are a great tool that helps me learn stuff through recognition. Amazing course, as always, hope you have Java/developing courses. If not, I may just take the Net+ just to spend more time with you
Zachary G.
Passed the Security+ a few months ago using mostly this course, but forgot to leave a review at the time.
Mike is a great instructor with a lot of experience, and his teaching style appeals to a broad audience. Some of the gimmicks might seem silly, but you'll remember them and that's the point.
Miles M.
This course, along with the CompTIA study guidebook as a complement, helped me understand the requirements for the Security+ certification, which I passed on my first attempt. It was a great course!
