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

Excellent intro to cybersecurity, help you move to the next level especially if you want to get into IT security and is not sure which topic to dive in at first. Great foundation course to decide which domain you want to get into.

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.
