Great introductory course. The mobile app makes it easy to learn on the go at your own pace. Some of the audio is a bit patchy at times, but the ability to review the transcript helps make up for it.

Very solid course. Quick overview about almost everything you need to know at the beginning. A lot of useful links with additional material to study. Thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge, indeed!

At least the first half of this course is an overview/digest of a textbook. Lots of high level, rather academic textbook-type content that is unlikely to take you very far in real-world situations.

The course itself and what it teaches is really good however it is let down by its production and has some really annoying sound issues. You have to really consentrate to understand some teachers.

Good intro to cybersecurity concepts, but it's sometimes hard to follow due to lots of grammatical and usage errors...this course could benefit from an overhaul to use proper syntax.

quality of slides and presenters really bad. They don't give any effort for lessons. You cannot see who is talking. You just see 2 page slides (mostly blank) for 12 mins video.

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. :(

the audio is very bad, the speaker is not good in articulating the message or in lecturing the subject, too many ohh, ahh and other mistakes.

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.

Pretty bad audio and noticable cuts.

Course videos are very short and shallow without going into interesting depths.
