"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."

Jason Birch
