Here's What People Are Saying About Cybersec Trainings

Emanuel Paun

Mohammad was an amazing professor. I do not have a strong networking background and Mohammad was very patient in teaching me the basics in topics like wireless. The way he taught (hands on/labs) really helped solidify everything we learned through the 5 days of classes. I have nothing but positive feedback for the way he taught these course and his personality was amazing. 10/10 professor.

Alberto Feoli

Mohammed did it very well and way he explains concepts very good! Thanks for all your time and effort to help us understand.

Agnes Audige

Mohammed was able to present the class with real-world examples and kept me constantly engaged.

Greg Retallack

Musab did a great job and was pleasant to work with.

Bob Underkofler

The instructor did a good job and answered my questions when necessary. The language barrier was a bit of an issue for me, but that may be more my problem than the instructors.

Matthew Witte

Musab was an outstanding instructor. He was very knowledgeable and explained difficult concepts in an easy to understand manner. I would enthusiastically recommend Musab to my colleagues.

James Russell

The instructor was excellent. Presenting real world examples to assist with the lack of labs to re-enforce the material. The instructor kept the course interesting and kept us engage in the topics.
