I’ve got an easy-going, approachable, and funny teaching style that has helped newbies and experienced techs alike learn valuable IT skills. I’ve taught in-person seminars for the DEA and the FBI, and now I’m going to teach you.I’m joined by my buddy, Steve Nicholson, who brings a ton of knowledge and experience to this course. He’s taught thousands of college students, worked as a Chief Technical Officer, and even had a stint in the Marine Corps. Oh, and don’t forget to ask him about the chickens at his house!

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING: OVER25,000 5-STARREVIEWS! “I used these courses to pass the A+, Security+, and Network+ in a span of 2.5 months. I had no IT experience 4 months ago. Now I am a network engineer at a managed service provider with a great salary and solid upward mobility.” - Ryan D. Mike is an incredible instructor and very engaging. Actually teaches you about technologies and how they work rather than just what you need to know to pass an exam. Can’t recommend highly enough. - Dylan T. ‘First impressions - Blown away by the quality of the material! Especially the live demonstrations with real components really give one a far superior learning experience compared to ppt slides. I hope this style of teaching becomes the norm.’ -Krishnamohan C. Awesome! As an IT student, I already knew about PCs & related hardware and so on. this is an awesome course & Mike described everything nicely. If you are new to IT industry (less than 5 years) this is a must course for you! Muhammad T. [Mike] Meyers is amazing when it comes to explaining. His fun little bits, such as when he explains common problems and how to troubleshoot them, keep you engaged and help it stick so much better. I went from barely understanding little bits here and there to passing the 1001 on my first try with the help of this course. If you have tried reading the books and listening to lectures from people who sound like the teacher from Ferris Bueller then I would highly recommend this course paired with his practice tests. Robert F. This course was above my expectations! 1/2 way through and it is NOT boring, drilling information AT ALL! A positive, knowledgeable instructor who clearly speaks. Not only is the instructor positive, but fun and engaging. Very easily relays information in an easy to understand and easy to remember format. Perfect category breakdowns and great resources available too! THANK YOU (and your team) SO MUCH for all your hard work putting this course together! Looking forward to passing my CompTIA A+ with ease! Kerri O.WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS COURSE?Technology is ranked as the #1 source of U.S. jobs.
