Excellent course with clear explanations and practical ethical hacking labs. I gained valuable cybersecurity skills and feel much more confident applying them in real-world scenarios.

By Eric Jolliffe on 2/13/2026

Course hardware requirements not listed on description of course. Apple Silicon is not supported in course for Lab setup, which is required for the course. No refund available by the time you get to the Lab setup video. Buyer beware.

By Frank Perez on 2/12/2026

Information and online simulations were done properly.

By Joerg on 12/29/2025
