This course is well organized and instruction is excellent. Having the ability to return to previous lessons for review is invaluable. being able to work at my own pace is one of my favorite parts.

Great introduction into the remaining courses. I love that there are different learning methods, ie, audio and reading and that there are quizzes at the end of each to help you digest the information.

Awesome course! Very interesting course but there is a lot of information to learn. You will need to take detailed notes so that you can use the notes to help expand on new topics and material introduced later on.

Buen curso, cubre los conceptos básicos que cualquier persona debe conocer para iniciarse en el mundo de la ciberseguridad. Mucha teoría y poca práctica, algo que supongo que cambiará según avancemos en el curso.

I had my doubts about this course at first. I was completing wrong and this is some of the best training I have done. The questions accurately test the knowledge of what you have read and heard from the videos.
