The course is well-suited for PCI-DSS newcomers. To enhance its value, incorporating practical examples with diverse scenarios would be beneficial. Additionally, inclusion of essential templates like SAQs and guidelines for PCI DSS 3.2.1 and 4.0 is recommended.

By Rainer Steffen Schulz on 2/28/2024

This "PCI-DSS" starts very well in its clearity (sometimes you have to be a bit patient to get the abbreviations explained). Please enhance the course to continue with the level it starts also with the discission of each of the 12 Requirements, as well as the SOA and PCIDSS4.0 topics... This would make it really a perfect course (as it starts really extremly well..)

By Salim Husain on 6/1/2023

It is an excellent course. well designed and most importantly, the confidence of the trainer fills the learners with great positive energy. The trainer really knows very well what he is talking about. Excellent.

Exceeded my expectations. Great contents and concepts are explained in a way that is very simple and very easy to understand. I wish the courses materials were available to print out. Thank you.

By Briget Ngampa on 12/9/2022

I like how the instructor explains the concepts. It makes it very easy to understand. He spends time on the important concepts. I love the speed too. the slides are not crowded very simple straight forward to the point.

This course was quite helpful. It should have been better if the notes on the screen were attached to the course videos in form of pdf to help with further learning to master the whole course outline.

By Prince Samuel Adewole on 10/5/2022

So far, I have gotten an in dept understanding of PCI DSS as well as well what one needs to bare in mind when implementing it. This is indeed the best most practical course I've ever taken. Thanks for efforts you put into it. Could you share your presentation?

By Aimen M on 9/25/2022

If you are responsible for implementing PCI DSS in your organization then I cannot recommend this course highly enough. The trainer bases it on actual experience and goes into detail about all of the requirements.

By Muhammed Kora on 9/5/2022

This was a very fruitful and insightful course for PCI DSS in a production environment, Taimur did a very elaborate explanation of how to best implement PCI in any environment. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to understand the intent of PCI DSS, It gave me a broader chain of thought in the implementation of PCI DSS controls in any environment. Thank you Taimur!!

By Brindha on 7/27/2022

The course gives a good understanding of PCI DSS and the requirements as listed in the standard. The instructor has done an amazing job in explaining it well for anyone who is not so well versed in IT or PCI DSS. The section around various SAQs and what’s in 4.0 is a value add. I would strongly recommend this course for anyone who wants to get a thorough understanding of the standard
