Prerequisites
The course is written for people with some experience in the world of networking. You should also have a basic understanding of Linux, since we will use a Linux distribution called Kali Linux for the examples in the course.
What you’ll learn
You will learn how to download and install Nmap on your Windows or Linux system. You will learn how to start an Nmap scan and interpret its results. We will also guide you through some more advanced Nmap usage, such as scanning UDP ports, adjusting delays between scans and such.

Very Good prepared and to commend to other learners.
Good course!
Course is easy to follow and gives basics of NMAP.
Pretty good Nmap tutorial, for beginners. If you know your network protocols, you can probably get the same amount of useful information printing one of the myriad Nmap cheatsheets. I would have liked less trivial info (like installing) and more on advanced stuff, mainly Nmap scripting. Nevertheless, a quick and fun primer on Nmap.
