I’ve enjoyed the training so far. Wish it was more focused on Linux like other training, but still good.
The educators at ituonline.com are highly skilled but could improve their methods of instruction. In the CCNA 200-301 course, there’s a heavy emphasis on oral lectures, and it would be beneficial to include more in-depth visual aids. Annotating labs and graphics could also make the educational journey more effective. On the other hand, the N10-008 course instructor consistently offers top-notch material.
This course is super detailed but not boring, and they give you cool projects to actually practice what you’re learning.
