difficult concepts were put together nicely, however, it took more than one time through each video to get full understanding of Linux.

The amount of knowledge gained from this course is on a Infinity-Gauntlet type of level. Picture Thanos with all the Infinity Stones.

Great Course; If you're looking to go into IT, I urge you to start with the Google IT support professional certificate course.

Es simplemente didáctico, en todo el sentido de la palabra. Puedes asimilar conceptos, totalmente desconocidos, en muy poco tiempo.

I feel the computer knowledge in IT Professional Certificate is much deeper than a BSc in CS/IT. (exclude database and programming)
