Really Worth Learning
Cisco Core Networking | Packet Tracer★★★★☆
The lectures were excellent and very informative and I learned a lot. I loved the hands-on labs as they help to re-enforce what I was learning. The only suggestion I have is that I would like to see more hands-on in the Testout Sims otherwise it was a great learning experience and I plan to do more training on JSS Platform.
