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.

I think this is a great start for anyone who is starting from absolute zero. I think that since I've been toying with the idea of getting into Cybersecurity for 2 years now, it was a great refresher!

Very good for a quick introduction into Cybersecurity. Many of the modules were vague and referred to future courses, but I trust that the statements made will be fulfilled and many topics that I find to be mysterious regarding Cybersecurity will be adequately explained at the appropriate time.

It's a great course, no matter if you have IT knowledge or not, in an interactive way and linking the topics of the classes it teaches you in a didactic way what cybersecurity is all about, and above all how you can collaborate to make cyberspace a safer place for companies and their employees.

I have taken the Google IT Support Specialist Certificate course and this course felt a bit like a refresher of that course so it was still very much helpful. I had forgotten about somethings that were brought and it was good to be able to review that and also learn new things along the way.

I loved how the course is structured. I make it very easy to understand even if you aren't computer savvy. I always felt that anything you wanted to do with computers you had to know them inside and out which is not the case. The basic computer user can get this. Love this course.

I took this course to prepare me for graduate classes at school about cybersecurity. Being I don't have much of a background in computer science or IT, I'm glad I did. It is helping me do well so far. Without a doubt I would be totally lost if I had not gone through this course.
