What others say
Red Hat courses are very expensive. They amount to > $1000/day, and are not always available. As in you could register for a course two months out and then be told one week before the start date that the course is cancelled because of too few attendees.
Sander’s video courses are available at any time from anywhere. If I didn’t understand something I would simply “rewind” or take the same section over the next day.
I expected to become very familiar with RHEL 7 and I did. Sander would not just dryly cover the course requirements. He adds things from his own experiences that are useful. He also has a sense of humor which is good when covering sometimes tedious stuff.
Without the video series I would not have attempted to take the exams.
Sander’s course is worth taking. It is reasonably priced, covers the necessary material, and allows you to learn and practice the information you need to pass the exams and become competent with RHEL 7.
