Very encouraging way to learn, even for someone without any prior knowledge of the field. Programming basics and an intro into all aspects of the field. It is taught in small videos and short reading passages. The anytime, anywhere nature of the instruction makes it perfect for anyone's schedule.

This course is full of information much more than I expected. It is full of both text and images, videos, people from practice, etc. It's challenging, but that's why, or rather thanks to it, I learned much more than just the basics of cybersecurity.

While I did complete the course, considering that positions that are open have well over 200 applicants with many having bachelors degrees, I feel that this alone will not help you get a job but is only a stepping stone if anything.
