What Other Students Are Saying About My CompTIA Certification Courses:
I have just completed watching two different instructor courses on the same subject. I must say, Dion's has more information in a better constructed manner. This course is not easy, it is heavy with information and having you sit through shorter videos was the best part. Having watched more than just Dion's, I can say he goes over the content much better. Very glad I chose to watch a second course. (Rutger, 5 stars)
I love taking this wonderful course. It's full of important tips and amazing steps in order to pass CompTIA Security+. Thank you, Jason Dion, for making this incredible course. (Paul, 5 stars)
It is great course personally i find this course helpfully and very good example that is illustrated by Jamario Kelly. Thank you Dion Jason (Basilio Daniel Cubadjomia, 5 stars)
Upon completion of this course, you will earn 21 CEUs towards the renewal of your CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Linux+, Cloud+, PenTest+, CySA+, or CASP+ certifications.
