I must say the program was challenging, especially considering my English proficiency. However, with patience, hard work and determination, I successfully completed the program. I would like to point out that there are some complex issues that require repetition and revision to fully grasp. However, I am grateful for the opportunity to receive such a quality education and look forward to applying my newly acquired knowledge and skills in my future endeavors. Thank you again for this valuable experience.

Cons: The lecturer isn't really "teaching" you, he's mostly reading the slides, uses advanced language and complicated words, and so isn't really giving you tools to tell what you learned.

Pros: Packed with information. And because the lecturer is reading the material, you can just take down notes using slides and skip the parts where the lecturer is reading the slides and save some time.

Awesome course! The Exam will require you to understand the material so do take notes. Do NOT skip on the Reading materials!!! A bit of a challenge vs Powerpoint by death but if you are really interested on the course it will not matter. Good course overall. looking forward to take other ones.

Content was quite good. I learned a lot. Though I am curious if anyone is editing these courses. The spelling and grammar errors are numerous and distracting. It's very unprofessional and someone should be able to, at least, spell the names of the IBM products. Thank you.

La mayoría del curso está muy bien planeado, pero la parte de scripting es algo confusa de entener, aún así, mi calificación es muy alta porque hay muchas alternativas fuera de aqui para entender y profundizar más en el scripting para complementar lo que haquí se ensea.

Overall very very exciting course, however, I found 'Digital Forensics' and 'Scripting in CyberSecurity' bit boring, it would be nice if IBM team will review these two sections.

In all very nice collection of resources for Python, and PenTest process.

There is quite a bit to learn within this course, but I feel that it is laid out in a way to allow you retain it if you take good notes, and pay attention! I would recommend it to anyone wanting to get into cybersecurity.
