Course was very helpful,thoughtful but the amount of examples are a little too complex to understand for newbies that it made me do a little research on google.Wish the example's were on simpler english...it was well made but could be better

It is a well-written introductory course for Cybersecurity. Recommend for beginners who wish to learn about cybersecurity and those who wants an insight into the "hows" or the execution of cybercrime at a technical level to understand it.

Challenging but a good basic understanding of Cybersecurity

Sometimes the instructors were a little hard to understand (mainly due to being on speaker phone) but overall a lot of good basic information - a very good introductory course

It was different than the IT Specialist Certification. The only suggestion I have is to have the instructors speak more clearly and maybe test their mics so that they don't fade out during a presentation. Course was outstanding!

Loved the course! I felt it was the right mix of detail/technical info for someone not currently in, or experience in Cybersecurity but anyone with some experience in Info Tech would be able to grasp it and learn a great deal.
