There are no exersises and the information is given in a dry manner. You would be better off making flash cards and reading up on information from organizations like OWASP.

Audio needs work, some videos are decent audio, others I had to turn volume all the way up, then still turn on subtitles to be able to hear/understand what was being said.

So much theorical and starts explaining stuff with no a base. I wish it was presented some practical example about either how to hack or how to pentest for example.

Very VERY basic course, mostly just definitions. Audio quality is horrible like really bad and there are a couple of misspelling errors throughout the slides.

Poor Quality of slides and audio, for me as a non-native speaker it is hard to understand the speakers. Should be presented more structured and fluently

Could not understand the instructors. For most, English is not their first language. Many words and key terms were misspelled and unintelligible.

Teachers are not very good at presenting.

The powerpoint slides are not very professional made.

It could be a lot better with some small changes.

I didn't find it very much interactive. I appreciate speakers presentation but looks like they were too tired and forced to have this recorded. :(

From 2018, needs an update! Content ok, but presenters are rambling or not finding correct words. Videos are from lectures. Not recommended.

Hard to understand the teacher of some of the 1st course. Also a handout or link to all the abbreviations they use is needed.
