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.

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.
