    I’ve enjoyed the training so far. Wish it was more focused on Linux like other training, but still good.

  4. F

    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.

  5. JT

    This course is super detailed but not boring, and they give you cool projects to actually practice what you’re learning.
