Reviews summary
Basic network security: not worthwhile
With only a sole negative review, it is difficult to endorse this course as one that students should sign up for. The sole review complains that the course fails to live up to expectations that it might help the learner set up a VPN. Note that our confidence in this review is very low, and so you may wish to read the review yourself before deciding what to do.
The course did not meet the minimum expectations of at least one learner.
"This promised to be quick (2 weeks) introduction to networking - I really just want to learn enough to be able to set up my own VPNs (for use in China, where the Great F Wall is a Great PIA)."
