The course is well paced and they get you comfortable with the topics even though we do not have any sort of prior exposure in this field. It is very good for the beginners who are new to this field

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!

I joined this single course thinking that I will get complete knowledge as a non technical person about Cyber Crimes and Cyber Security in this single course.I do not have the time nor the competence to do all the 9 courses .But I find that this is a course for Cyber Analyst and there is too much of advertising and counselling for this.I feel this course is not suitable to my needs.So pl refund my fees.I was very happy with the course AI for All by Mr Andrew NG.Regards

olha a mensagem que vejo aqui toda hora: "Você sabia que concluir o Certificado profissional pode lhe render créditos para obter um diploma?" essa mensagem me afeta de forma negativa e imagino que vocês não tem ciência disso! como vou fazer um bacharelado em ciência de cibersegurança sem DINHEIRO e sem FLUÊNCIA em INGLÊS? tem alguma solução para mim? favor mandar email para aryribeiro@gmail.com ...tenho 2 filhos para sustentar, aqui no Brasil.

I thought i would get a certificate by completing one course not the whole 9 courses but i was wrong. I donot want to dive in the field of cybersecurity i just wanted to have some basic knowledge and a "certificate" but certificate will be given after completed whole set.
