    This is amazing .. thank you so much for providing this free
    service , being poor I really want to improve my life by taking a course , however I do not posses the money needed to pay for school , or the time to commit .

    thank you from me and my family , and know that your changing at least one life with your efforts .

  • Stan

    This is great!!! A free way to learn valuable information in the IT field! I couldn’t be more grateful!! Thanks so much!!!

    Also I think that you should state while your cert training program is free, the actual cert IS NOT lol well in most instances it isn’t. I I believe the armed services has a voucher, but I think you have to be actually in service. Either way I think you should put the typical price you’re expected to pay for the cert in this overview, just my 2¢ . Thanks again!

    Ah, you don’t have to worry about low res on your videos. 640×480 is more than enough, especially since I’ve grown accustom to watching 320×240 videos provided by universities. :)

    Very nice introduction. I do hope these videos will help. Learning on the job can be difficult because many things do not get addressed at times or often.
    The cost of the classes and the test can be prohibitive. You do have to pay for the test (apx. $163 each section, meaning $326 each try depending on who from and where you take it); and for each additional time you take it.
    FYI: the test is supposed to be updated and changed August 1, 2009. I am glad you will update your videos and learning tools as needed. Thank you for your help.

    Dear Professor Messer,

    I have been watching your videos and haven’t finish but I love them. I took a class at MDC in Miami but your videos are better. I want to take the essential test after I review everything again and I will be going through your videos again. I get nervous when I take a test plus if they are timing you I get really nervous. Do you think you have time to answer the questions on the time they give you?

  • Gary from Jamaica

    Holy Wow!! I hope you live long and prosper for providing such material for FREEE!!
    Do more for other courses please (Network+, CCNA, etc)

  • Greg

    Great into. Very comprehensive. I also like that you can forward thru things that you are really familiar with. I enjoy your professionalism (no profanity or crassness).

  • Aneeqsterman

    This course is an answer to a prayer. Is there an IT sainthood? I’m sure this will help me pass my tests.

    Thank you so much

    Not many people in this world think to provide such this useful course, I have seen many courses on line for money but this is one best examples i have seen.

    you are a unique person, and I hope every body who learnt from you to think to follow your steps.

  • LOU

    Wish I had found your site before paying $900.00 for another online course. Now I will have two courses to prepare for the exam.

  • Anselmo Diaz

    Thanks!! This is great!! ^_^ You are great!!

  • Errol

    Prof Messer all I can say is Thank you….

  • John

    Thank you very much, professor. =) You don’t find much quality educational things like this for free. It’s great for people who learn visually and/or those on tight budgets especially. These videos are better than a lot of the online courses and videos you actually do have to pay for.

  • Luis Ribas

    God bless you Professor Messer. I am in the middle of a career shift and decided to try again the IT field. Being in between jobs makes it hard to invest in the course but you are God sent.

    Thank you again.

    I have just watched the first introductory video and am so glad that I found this site. I have been in the computer industry for a number of years and worked in several area of the industry, but have never gotten certified. I am currently looking for a job and will use this time to watch the videos and see about getting certified. This is a great service that you are offering and I plan to take full advantage of this opportunity. Thank you very much!!!!

  • BWilliams

  • Ray M

    After three months enrolled in a $9,000 A+1 trng. program at a Mentor oriented, world-wide training school, I’ve learned more from you in just three days. It was easier to comprehend and remember. I’ll be with you all the way!
    THANKS……….
