nice course, but I would like that the instructor go deeper in the use of the tools, may be with hands on examples

By Yang Lee on 4/21/2020

It is getting quite boring due to too much talking without demonstrating the tools

By Mil Setra on 9/15/2019

Trs bon cours avec beaucoup de dtails.

By Ryan Haylock on 5/14/2019

Explains things at a very basic level. Would have liked to see some actualy demonstrations of penetration testing.
Saying " go have a look on youtube " does not constitute a training course I'm afraid.
Guess I'll try find somewhere else to study...

By Gary Wake on 4/15/2019

Good information and well presented

By John Tavares on 3/5/2019

Clear and with practical examples screenshots.

By John W Mc Kie Jr on 1/9/2019

Very detailed. Great pace for the first couple of modules. Lots of practical examples used.

By Lawrence Lavigne on 10/12/2018

Her voice is very dull. She rattles off items with little to no detail about them. She's speaks way too fast.
