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.

The time estimates seem long. Very good course, for the entry-level person it will be challenging, for the seasoned desktop tech it will be fun and for an engineer, it will be a great refresher.

I enjoyed most of the reading and videos, the only thing that confused me a lot was the portfolio part. I thought this subject was going to be discussed in the last course, instead.

I will give this course 4 stars only because once I got the portfolio section there was no explanation or examples of the portfolio just go look it up and complete it yourself.

A bit slow for those who have some background knowledge of cybersecurity. However, engaging, and challenging when it comes to conventional understanding of cybersecurity.

Great delivery, only giving 4 out of 5 because i loved the flash cards and test your knowledge activities in the modules outside of the quizes and wished there were more!

It was good to understand how the cybersecurity domain has expanded to what it is now and how you don't need to be a master/expert in cybersecurity to get into the field.

Not a bad course for an entry level with no previous knowledge. The material is ok, although most of the information can be found on the internet and in youtube for free.

Overall a good introduction. I would've liked more examples for some of the abstract terms. Also, the historic data leaks or virus examples could be elaborated on more.

Great depth for entry level, I think it makes really deep and dense topics approachable and accessible so that they can be expanded upon later with more courses.

A really good introduction into Cybersecurity, however, although some global topics were covered, it still felt very directed toward American based entities etc.

It's a qualifying certificate, but it's full of a lot of irrelevant information and tries to make you memorize things rhotely which is bad for consciousness.

I think this first course was awesome. I just wish there was a better way to learn terms with repetitive learning like flash cards to retain terms better.

didn't know about SIEM data analysis before, but it sounds fascinating to analyze security information and events to detect and respond to threats
