Dion Training offers IT certification courses, practice exams and course-and-voucher bundles. Jason Dion’s courses are also sold on Udemy.
A Security+ candidate averaging 81 to 83% on Dion's practice exams the day before the exam was told by other commenters that scores above 80% were a good sign; two said they passed after similar results. The thread is about the older SY0-501 exam.
A candidate who passed Network+ (759) with the Udemy course and six practice exams said routing protocols and troubleshooting were weak points and that the Network+ practice exams did not resemble the real exam as closely as the A+ and Security+ ones had.
Asked whether Dion's A+ Core 1 Udemy course covers everything, one reply suggested pairing it with Professor Messer's free videos and extra practice exams.
Over 31 hours of video with a downloadable study guide, quizzes after each section and a full practice exam. Jason Dion goes into more detail than most courses, teaching mostly as lecture with fewer visuals than Messer.
