    I think this is a great start for anyone who is starting from absolute zero. I think that since I've been toying with the idea of getting into Cybersecurity for 2 years now, it was a great refresher!

    For a foundation course, this one was easy to understand, it explained all basic concepts in a fluid way and built up the base for the upcoming courses. I'm eager to move on to the other courses now.

    I'm really interested in learning with Google. This is the first lesson I've ever done with this particular school though. Let's see, from first impression, I admit the website looks rough and I'm nervous to navigate through. Its layouts are scattered and I can't get a good focus. I had to watch the videos over again and again before I could remember all of them. For someone trying to learn, this may be a setback. You should always plan your lessons out so that they are even, sequential, and easy to learn, I plan to keep learning with this program so I hope the other lessons will improve. I also hope the material is worth learning, not under training in other words or less than an employee is looking for. Now let's see how my ratings change as I continue along with my lessons.

    Te da buena información, pero te cuenta muchas cosas que solo las ves por encima, 4 semanas para una información que se podría ver en 4 videos de 20 minutos en 4 días. Sé que se puede avanzar las tareas y hacerlo en menos de 4 semanas pero hay muchas tareas que no les veo provecho y te hacen perder el tiempo sin aprendizaje.

    Los tests los veo muy intuitivos y repetitivos, siempre indicen en los 4 puntos principales de la semana que son el 20% de los contenidos de la semana, el resto es relleno y no te cae ni una pregunta. Eso sí, se ajustan muy bien a la dificultad del curso, son fáciles.

    It was a great course. My only problem I had was differentiating the types of phishing attacks: Water Hole Attack or Whaling. While similar, and web searching recommended, examples for most glossary terms are not presented clearly within in the course. This goes for most glossary terms; It is recommended by the course to do a bit researching on your own when you have an idea but I strongly feel that such examples could be presented within the course along with the glossary term(s) at the end of each module.

    When it comes to security there should not be in ANY ambiguity and the wording has to be precise. For example about cloud security there are 2 parties mentioned 'service provider' and organisations! 'service provider' is an organisation. This course is meant to be for individuals with no prior experience... it should have been 'service providers' and 'service consumers' When security related material is not clear and ambiguous the understand would be inconsistent.

    I am just wondering why the full course that was awarded to me by Identity India was withdrawn without any sort of notification. It really doesn't speak transparency and infringes on my right to be informed. I have put in time energy and resources for this course, even going the extra mile to get the mobile app. I really need some explanation plsssss

    Interesting beginner level course. I fell that some quiz questions are way too ez to deduce even if you have not paid any attention to the subject. I did pay attention because I do take this couse seriously, but honestly, an attentive person can litteraly just glide and skip straight to the quizes and pass. Please review your multiple choices.

    This course is designed for anyone wishing to start a career in cybersecurity. The teaching is straightforward, and there are many exercises between lectures to provide a clear understanding of the material. I highly recommend this course for beginners.

    While I feel like it covered a lot of information and laid out a great framework of the history of CS, I felt as if there was any real substance to gather and asked myself will this help me with a job in the industry

    Great high level introduction to cybersecurity, but the industry does not recognize this certificate in any meaningful way and it has been nearly impossible to find a job
