The explanation is very clear, engaging and understandable.
Though, I thought of learning some practical aspect of cyber hacking.
It doesn't come out that way. Nevertheless, I still learned a lot of useful things.
Thank you very much for your efforts.

A friend bought the course for me to get an idea about cyber security before jumping into it. I have to say the course was well taught with clear understanding compare to some courses i had true Udemy.
Thank you Alexander for all the advices you had given at the end.

By Belinda Leopard on 3 months ago

This course did provide very basic or overview of Cybersecurity; however, I would have like to have more in-depth content on a lot of the topics. likely, to be covered in Part 2, otherwise good a course.

By Pasinee Pukbuakhao on 3 months ago

Overall, everything is satisfactory. But some sub topics don't get much details. The instructor speaks quite too fast for non English speakers like me and subtitles are not that accurate. However, thanks so much for the course!

By Medipally Saikumar Reddy on 2 months ago

Being a beginner I can able to understand almost pretty much everything and even he has explained everything in an effective manner so that everyone can get the things easily.
Kudos to you sir.
