TOP REVIEWS FROM IT SECURITY: DEFENSE AGAINST THE DIGITAL DARK ARTS
Thank you to all the instructors. I learned concrete and useful IT skills from the courses and especially from the projects. After completing this course, I feel I want to learn more and more.
It's very nice even the teacher is very pleasant the way of representing things is just mind-blowing i am too happy to learn with it. I feel I am too lucky to have such a teacher!! Hats off!!
I feel like this went way more in depth than I think most people just getting into it can handle. I think either this needs to be dumbed down or drawn out a bit more, but a lot of great info.
This program was very challenging, and I learned a lot. However, I feel that I need additional, hands-on learning before I will be efficient enough to take a job as an IT Support specialist.
