Learning Linux and SQL is quite challenging but with clear explanation and examples given makes the course easier to understand specially for me without any background on IT or cyber security.

I already had experience with Linux and SQL as a Computer Science student but I did pick up a few CLI commands that I haven't used before. A good way to get your feet wet with both.

It was impossible to complete this module on my tablet. The questions couldn't be answered as the text would glitch. I failed the exam due to not being able to run the queries and now i have to wait 24 hours for another attempt.

The instructor is pretty bad, looks like the person is AI generated, very hard to engage with the materials..

The spectrum of Linux and SQL is way to massive to learn in a 3 hour course. Test were difficult as well.
