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.

A good introduction to cybersecurity. However, some of the quiz questions and answers didn't align, so you have to determine whether you're going to answer correctly or how you think they wanted you to answer even though it doesn't align with how the question was posed.

O curso foi muito bom, apenas achei desnecessário que só vamos poder tirar o certificado após o período de teste acabar. Qual o intuito de colocar o período de teste sendo que precisamos finalizar o período de teste? completamente desnecessário e uma perca de tempo.

A bit too high-level. Might be better to focus on foundational stuff, and dig a bit deeper. Why mentioning Linux, Python, and SQL at all? Introduce them later. Let students be more comfortable with the basics as to what frameworks is, what is a security control etc.

It was as a good start into realm of cybersecurity. Made me aware about need of safeguarding systems and networks also taught ethical practices in the profession of security analyst. I am rating 4 out of 5 because some questions in the quiz were too much confusing

I really enjoyed this course. I have learned many concepts about cybersecurity and now I'm aware of some attacks and I can avoid them when I recognize.

I can protect myself now and by the way If join the cybersecurity industry I can protect others to use a product

This course was simplified and retainable for me. I enjoyed structure of the courses outline and will recommend it to others. My only complaint is how lost I got navigating through the course material when wanting to explore different sections of the material.

For the most part, this course is excellent, however, the "Professional Statement" section is a bit confusing in its explanation and layout, I was stuck there for a while....much longer than I had hoped to be, but eventually got through it. Just my 2 cents.

I love the course so far but I personally think you should include like something you can do hands on that relates to what were learning in each section. Something like what TryHackMe has. Other than that I love everything I've been learning so far!

There was a lot of information to absorb, but it was helpful for it to be mentioned multiple times. The only negative was the core speaker. She was not an engaging teacher and reading the transcripts and taking notes turned out to be more helpful.

For someone with zero technical background and experience they make this course as user friendly as possible. If you're unsure whether or not this certificate program is for you, by the end of this first course you should have a pretty good idea.

Exciting Course, I liked the way the fundamental cybersec concepts were explained. This course is indeed beginner friendly... however, you will need to put in the hours to read the extra resources provided such as NIST CSF, NIST RMF, and others

Me parece una muy buena base para empezar y refrescar conocimientos de seguridad informática actual. seguimos estudiando! como sugerencia aplicaría IA para traducir el lenguaje a otras lenguas, para una mas facil interpretación.

I do feel that the information i learned was sufficient however in the tests i do wish they provide us a correct answer and the explanation after we are done because i feel that i still have no clue why my answer is wrong

its a very broad course. It dose give you some hot topics to get you into the cybersecurity mindset but it also refers to other courses thats going to give you the details you need to actually understand cybersecurity .

It was good. well organized and put together.

The last module may have used some improvement in my opinion,

but overall it was a great learning experience for someone who just started he journey in Cyber security.

The quality of the content was nice, and even though the course was complete theory and I hate theory, the course was not boring at all. It has a nice balance of reading and video to help you learn better.

Very high level concepts, examples for further discussion at various points of the course would have helped to solidify it more, however, I understand that the forthcoming 7 courses will do that.
