"Course was clear on what is needed, but if you are like me who hardly touched cybersecurity and no little about it, there will be a information overload, so be prepared to consume a lot of course material as the course can become overwhelming, The tutors are helpful and knowledgeable, the course time was ideal as it was only 4 days a week at 3 hours a day, the workbooks required a lot a writing and recommends following the rubric for writing the answers, only pain for me was the marker would send the workbook back for correcting and then resubmission, now resubmissions are unlimited, my course is a very pleasant and understanding lady, she was always available to offer support when needed."

"I was a beginner in this field. So, I needed to start from basic definitions. The experience was great because we learnt everything in detail and we started from very basic information and then moved on to advanced. The units were written in detail, and I was able to access the slides after the class. Also, presentations were included in the lessons. This boosted my confidence. "

"Very informative and well structured lessons carried out by exceptional tutors. Also implements CV employability sessions which help prepare students for the workplace. Perhaps needs to be a slightly longer course to allow space for unexpected delays or interruptions. "

"I attended a 9 week level 3 digital support course taught by Shahi. Shahi was a great tutor always going out of his to way to make sure we understand everything. The course itself was a bit frustrating as it had a few mistakes in it making things harder for us but it was the first time this course was taught. Overall I really enjoyed the course."
