    I loved how the course is structured. I make it very easy to understand even if you aren't computer savvy. I always felt that anything you wanted to do with computers you had to know them inside and out which is not the case. The basic computer user can get this. Love this course.

    I took this course to prepare me for graduate classes at school about cybersecurity. Being I don't have much of a background in computer science or IT, I'm glad I did. It is helping me do well so far. Without a doubt I would be totally lost if I had not gone through this course.

    I did not expect cybersecurity to be this important and sensitive.

    Companies and institutions depend to a very large extent on the cybersecurity department.

    The most important department in all governmental and commercial institutions as well

    I hope I can go as deep as possible
