Today I reviewed the last two videos in the CompTIA Network+ course. It seems almost strange that the course is finished already, as there was so much information that was covered. However, like our instructor Chris Bryant has stated multiple times throughout the course, it will be my job to go back through the videos and watch them again, just so I can make sure I understand all the information that the course provides.
In video 14 of the Network+ course, Mr. Bryant provides us with a look into some of the most cutting edge tech in networking. I am of course talking about wireless. There are some interesting distinctions between the different versions of the wireless standards. Another thing that I realized is that we barely even consider a time before wireless networking. The idea that you would actually have to find an Ethernet port and (*gasp*) bring your own Ethernet cable to a place like a coffee shop or a school library seems almost disturbing these days. I think that makes me sound old when I bring that up (“In my day, we had to plug in our laptops to get internet! We walked 3 miles through the snow to find Ehternet ports in the wall…”). Anyway, I digress.
You can tell that Mr. Bryant is trying to wrap up all the material for you, and he does so even more in the final video. He spends this last video in the Network+ course describing what you’ll need to do to prepare yourself for the actual (dreaded) exam. He makes some really good points here about confidence and good study tactics. But the way I see it, the real confidence builder comes from the fact that you just went through the entire course with him, right? This final video is just a good bonus, and it’s Mr. Bryant’s vast experience with certification exams that make the video all the more useful. And that is the Train Signal difference that you will hear (or read, if you will) me and my colleagues harping on all the time. We truly love our products and we want to make them the best they can be for you. That’s the point, right?
I just thought about that weird hair transplant commercial. It’s as if I’m not just an employee, I’m also a user. Except I’m not going bald, I’m learning IT courses. Ok, I think I should stop while I’m ahead. I couldn’t resist that one. Stay tuned for more from TST.
thanks
