Good introduction and high-level overview of cybersecurity. I love the videos of individuals in cybersecurity roles talking about their experiences and teaching about the importance of cybersecurity.

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

Great high level introduction to cybersecurity, but the industry does not recognize this certificate in any meaningful way and it has been nearly impossible to find a job

I think it has too many explanations and the whole thing about the forums is very annoying for me. That's been said, it makes the certification more difficult to follow.

Demasiado básico, curso 1 y curso 2 deberían compartir más contenido. Demasiado contenido en el curso 2 y el curso 1 tiene muy poco
