Like guiding through network and security elements ... fast. Challenging and rich in content but not going into too deep. The following courses in the certificate will delve deeper, I imagine.

All the courses were very good and the explanation was good except for the part about networks, it was not covered in a simplified way and my problem with the teacher is that he was talking quickly and slowing down at the end of the speech. It was very difficult for me, especially with the amount of information in this part, with the difficulty of understanding because there were no examples in some parts. I was only imagining. Although I passed the course, I have to repeat it again.

The materials being presented are extremely outdated at this point. I understand teaching the various historical aspects to preserve and prevent future exploits. Still, honestly, the syllabus spent an incredibly long time on it for attack vectors that can't work in today's world.

the course was good but Chris the instructor was awful. He cannot be a good teacher. He just reads out the notes very fast.

I did not like the word out on the streets is this does not really help you with a job.

It's ok, I guess. I don't feel confident that I am absorbing all the material, though.
