Easy to follow and fun learning experience!

I enjoyed how easy this class was to follow-through with all assignments! I felt like we had plenty of hands on time during each lecture/session as well as ample opportunities throughout our entire course schedule to complete any work or questions that came up while watching videos online. There were some things that I did not really enjoy which made me feel more comfortable knowing there are other options when choosing your preferred method of learning material (e.g., reading vs viewing). As…

Pros
  • Easy access for anyone regardless if it's through mobile devices.
  • Great way in making sure everyone gets exactly alike information at once instead having multiple people taking notes separately from one another
  • Very user friendly interface & navigation system makes everything very simple even though its designed specifically around IT security topics!!
Cons
  • Somewhat confusing content delivery sometimes but still understandable overall
  • Not much flexibility available regarding scheduling / changing classes etc

Cyber Security Awareness Training - Great for preparing yourself

I like that this online class can be taken from anywhere via computer or mobile device with WiFi connection (anywhere where there’s an internet network). There are many sections to learn but only have 30 min per section allowed which gets very time consuming if you want more than just basic knowledge required by your job field/career objectives! This course provides necessary understanding towards cyber threat mitigation and protection as well help prepare me better when interacting…

Pros
  • Ease learning
  • Helpful resources for career development at any age level, even young adults too.
  • Flexible schedules allow anyone who has access through WiFI connectivity & Internet Connection around their homes
Cons
  • Nothing

Excellent Cyber Security Training - Highly Recommend!

The SANS course material has helped me improve my skillset. I have learned so much in such a short time period. This course is very hands-on and we are able to get our hands dirty right away. There aren't too many courses that can do this. I would say that there isn't anything that I dislike about this class. I have learned so much in such a short amount of time. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to learn more about cyber security. I am learning how to use tools like Metasploit…

Pros
  • It's an all day, every weekday
  • Lots if labs available online or offline (depending upon your internet connection)
  • Great support staff! Very helpful when you run into issues with lab machines.
  • Excellent instructors who know their stuff
Cons
  • Minor Issues
