I found the Cyber Security Fundamentals course very informative and well-structured. It clearly explains key concepts like risk management, ISO/IEC 27001, and basic security controls. The practical examples and real-world scenarios made the content easy to understand. I especially liked the focus on frameworks like NIST and Cyber Essentials. Overall, it’s a great introduction for anyone starting a career in cyber security

Informative but poorly executed design of a course. Just one talking head the entire time reading a script in the same tone.
