    The overall program is well-structured, but the quality of audio, videos and subtitles was poor. I had to search for topics on the web almost every time. However, the course serves as a guide quite well

    In the Introduction to Cybersecurity Tools & Cyber Attacks certificate I received, my ID number is written instead of my surname. I request that my name be changed to BAYRAM GUMUS in the certificate.

    Really good information in this course, but the presentation leaves something to be desired: it is often difficulty to understand what people are saying in the videos. Audio quality is not the best.

    The Instructor's voice is not clear and sometimes not even audible and the content of the course is not that detailed and practical understanding of the topic has not be given that much attention.

    A lot of the presentations had poor audio quality and use of technical language/ abbreviations in a Beginner course. It is good to get a basic idea but some of the presentations were frustrating.

    Some of the links were out of date, videos often consisted of broken English, and sometimes hard to read screen. However still a very good worthwhile course if you are willing to work hard.

    Bon panorama des principaux concepts de la cybersécurité mais la qualité audio de certains intervenants n'est pas toujours de bonne qualité. Les slides sont assez pauvres en illustrations.

    The quality of the images provided is poor. (There is a section where the voice is not heard properly.) The text that is insufficient to properly understand the content is unsatisfactory.

    Because the course was moderated by many experts, I don't feel like there is a very good continuation of all the materials. You can sometimes notice terms being replicated here and there.

    Content is interesting and yes, you learn but the audio quality is appalling and in some cases exteremly difficult to understand both because of strong accents and sound quality.

    Rich and interesting content, but the overall presentation (voice calls over slide presentations) would have to be reviewed. As well as the grammar in the intended presentations.

    Most of the speakers are hard to understand and follow; transcripts have typos, or are sometimes incomplete.

    have to really concentrate, and repeat topics, to grasp & understand.

    In some video audio quality is not good.

    Most of the slides were from 2018 so it's around 2 years old material.

    Some reference links and websites provided are no longer valid.
