"Did the cyber security practices course with Amir as my tutor. Amir was always helpful and happy to explain concepts more than once, gave extra time in sessions for independent working on our assignments, and overall a friendly tutor. The course content itself was helpful for getting into cyber security as a newbie. I found the incident response and post-mortem to be the best and most practical part, but also found value in learning about controls, threat intelligence/OSINT. Lauren also held sessions for employability which were super useful for polishing up my CV and assessing my own skills."

"Antwan Atkins has been such a great tutor and very well versed in Cyber Security. He has helped me understand key concepts and has helped me to retain all the information. Doing the "Level 3 in Cyber Security Practices" course was very intensive but, Antwan was very logical and empathetic in explaining complex and difficult concepts. He made me and everyone in the class feel at ease and supported. Netcom in general has been very supportive and helpful."
