Some video issues (audio problems, spelling issues, editing), the background web app is not particularly good at "handing off" lessons and you will repeat MANY videos, most weblinks are 404 errors.

It's a good introductory course that covers the main subjects of cybersecurity. I'd like to see some of the subjects in a more detailed explanation, because they were merely presented to the audience.
