Personally I think that both Brians have done an awesome job for R&S. I
learnt a lot from both of them (Onsite Week1 class, CODs, Tech Labs, Core
WB, Lab WBs, Mock Lab WS etc).
I found Brian McGahan to be very focused and to the point. In fact for some
of his lectures, I had to stop the COD and go back if I didnt pay
close attention. Brian Dennis is a great Instructor as well. He tried to
make the long lectures more manageable with some humor, and his strategy
seminars are the best! I think that both Brians do a fantastic job and know
their stuff inside out, they just have a different lecturing style, which is
understandable.
After passing R&S earlier this year using IE material, I am thinking of
pursuing SP track, and based on my previous experience with IE, I plan
to pursue them for SP as well. This thread has helped me make up my mind as
well. Thanks a lot guys.
I am sure other vendors out there are awesome and have great material as
well, but as I havent tried any of them personally, I am not in a position
to compare/contrast.
