5.0 out of 5 stars CompTIA Network+ Video Mentor by David L Prowse - Excellent!, December 3, 2010
This review is from: CompTIA Network+ Video Mentor (Misc. Supplies)
I am currently studying for my CompTIA Network+ Exam and have been looking for research material to help me study for the exam. This review is for the CompTIA Network+ Video Mentor by David L Prowse.

When studying for my CompTIA A+ exams earlier this year, I purchased the CompTIA A+ 220-701 220-702 Exam Cram by David L Prowse from Amazon. It was an excellent study guide; expertly laid out and had great teaching techniques. I passed my exams in Feb 2010. So, based on past experience using this authors material, I decided to invest in the CompTIA Network+ Video Mentor by David L Prowse.

In the box you get a DVD with 20 videos (or labs) which range from "Configuring IPv4 Addresses" right through to "Configuring and Securing Firewalls" and "Setting up a VPN". Also included is a paperback study guide which goes hand in hand with the labs on the DVD.

Each lab starts with the 'Learning Objectives'. This is where David L Prowse takes you through what you will... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well done., April 1, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: CompTIA Network+ Video Mentor (Misc. Supplies)
David does a really good job in this presentation. It's well done, both in graphics and audio presentation. It covers most of the bases, but you don't want to lean on this for your primary study...you need a good book like Lammle's Network+ that. At 50.00 this is a worth the price. So kick back, watch, listen and learn.

The real forte of the Video Mentor is the detailed coverage of all the networking commands for PC, (via the command line), related to the Network+ exam (and beyond).
