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!

Course and instruction are great! I detest Qwiklabs. Other than having to use Qwiklabs, I would take this course again and again just for the fun!

A very good course designed for all types of students but just a suggestion add more advanced Windows features and skip basics that everyone knows.

Stellar! Lots of self-learning to do after you are done, as PowerShell and Linux are not to be learned in one go, but it builds the foundations.

Learning command line stuff was pretty cool. Before this I had very little experience with the commands and now I feel more comfortable with it.
