Excellent instruction: the language and wording are chosen to make the content easy to understand. The focus remains on the learner, not on the teacher trying to sound sophisticated.
Perfect course with demo to showcase real life testing
This was a great fundamental course to prepare me for the exam.
Best Course but I can't Got mine Professional Certificate ?
There are demos of hacking, but it would be better to have separate practical exercises, for hacking tools or methods.
I think it's the best course for intermediate students
Would like a more in-depth elaboration of some hacking fundamentals like - enumeration and pen testing, overall a great course for people who want to learn ethical hacking
I really appreciated this program. It was really helpful.
Through out the whole course, i learn some basics and some intermediate levels of knowledge and TTPs (Tactics, Techniques & Procedures)
Right amount of information for a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals.
I'm very glad to be here.. concepts are explained clearly...
pretty good overview, i'd send managers through this , its about on par with CISSP minus the testing

Cheesy AI voice mispronounced half of the important terminology. Lots of spelling and grammatical errors, and some grading errors. Overall, just real basic information, but a good foundation.
Overall, the structure of the course contains useful information that is lacking in practically in usage.
Just completed the Ethical Hacking Fundamentals course by Coursera as part of the HEC DLSEI3.0 Y1-C Program, and I must say, it has been an incredibly enriching experience! 💻🔐 The course offered a solid foundation in ethical hacking techniques, including penetration testing, network security, and vulnerability assessment. The instructors were highly knowledgeable and provided practical, hands-on knowledge that can be applied in real-world scenarios. What I really appreciated was the well-structured content, interactive quizzes, and the opportunity to work on real-world challenges. It truly broadened my understanding of cybersecurity and ethical hacking practices. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in diving deep into ethical hacking and cybersecurity, as it not only enhances your skills but also builds a strong ethical foundation for protecting digital assets. 🛡️ #EthicalHacking #Coursera #CyberSecurity #HECDLSEI3.0 #LearningJourney #CyberAwareness
