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.

The level of difficulty is just right with a lot of foundational information needed for a cybersecurity career start. Some of the online instructors were not audible enough during their presentations.
