Im pleased with that course. You can notice that the teacher has put effort in this course and i appreciate that. Greetings

Creo que estaría mejor el hecho de que pudiéramos hacer algunos labs y que hubiera un apartado de dudas donde pudieran ser resueltas. Además he echado de menos el no tener actividades o tareas para hacer nosotros mismos, porque si no es haciéndolo nosotros mismos, no se aprende. También he echado en falta un proyecto final o algo parecido.

I wished an short summary for the best preparation for the exam. (as example the standards IEEE 802.11n we should learn)

This is a great course for anyone planning on taking the Cisco CCST cybersecurity exam.
By Mark Nielson on 3/5/2024
Great course. Overall gave me good understanding of cyber security basics. I am using this as a refresher from a work course I had gone through last year.
By James Bell on 2/22/2024
Good course but there are some references in the course to American only laws & acronyms. Being from the UK these do not apply to us so Cisco should make it more generic for non USA based people.
