Mr. Samuel Schneider

I love the content and message. But be prepared there are many options presented during the course. It's best to identify what strategy you want to use before the course. I really enjoyed this and will certainly look back through my bookmarks for future content reference. Highly recommended.

I need to say the course is amazing, very practical and useful, I personally learnt so much valuable information. I think the course is high level though for people who do not know much about computer networks, basic cuber security principles, web and operating systems, so get familiar with those and then take such courses.

Another fantastic, practical, useful, and timely course from StationX. I very much enjoyed this course and learned a lot of valuable information. I'm confident that my networks will be a lot more secure than before I took this course :)

Thanks again to the course creator for taking time to share such information and to give good, solid and actionable advice.

I would recommend this course to everyone with a home or office network and who may not necessarily have the means afford real life security consultancy.

Very clear accent and audio, the videos are very clear and well presented, excellent!
