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!

For a beginner like myself, the course was really informative and well-structured, with enough of tasks aside from reading and listening. Nevertheless, this is merely an introduction to the topic.
