Reviewed Jul 15, 2023While the videos are OK the over reliance of nonnative speakers to write the questions, and the need to get peer reviewed essay questions with Rubrics that do not match what is asked, are huge points of failure.

Reviewed Oct 24, 2025The course provides a clear and exhaustive explanation of the CIA triad, supported by practical examples, making it easier to grasp fundamental security concepts. The content is accessible and easy to follow, whether you're listening, reading, or reviewing at your own pace. The inclusion of intermediate quizzes is a valuable feature that allows for self-assessment and helps reinforce learning by enabling students to review lessons when needed. Overall, the course is well-structured and offers a comprehensive learning experience that you clearly appreciate.
