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.

Es un curso sencillo para aquellos que iniciamos con la temática y que nos es interesante estudiar otros horizontes. Se me hace dinámico e interesante con su contenido y material; demás de motivador por los vídeos.

Awesome course! Very interesting course but there is a lot of information to learn. You will need to take detailed notes so that you can use the notes to help expand on new topics and material introduced later on.

Es un curso que te da una introducción muy bien estructurada y que te acerca al mundo de la ciberseguridad desde su interior. Muy recomendable para alguien que no ha tenido contacto ninguno con la ciberseguridad.

Buen curso, cubre los conceptos básicos que cualquier persona debe conocer para iniciarse en el mundo de la ciberseguridad. Mucha teoría y poca práctica, algo que supongo que cambiará según avancemos en el curso.

I had my doubts about this course at first. I was completing wrong and this is some of the best training I have done. The questions accurately test the knowledge of what you have read and heard from the videos.

It does not require prior knowledge but it surely helps.
