Testimonials
"Having been keen to break into the Cyber Security industry as a change of career direction, my research led me to the NIST Cyber Security Framework Foundation course is a great entry level introduction to the NIST Cyber Security framework and has already landed me my first contract. As a service leaver looking to secure my civilian future in cyber, this course was exactly what I was looking for. A great introduction to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and I am already planning to book the NIST Cyber Security Framework 800-53 Practitioner level course."

"Having recently completed the NIST Cyber Security Framework Foundation course, I found it informative, well-structured and easy to follow. The course has given me a great understanding of how the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) can be applied and how its core elements work. The course set me really well for the APMG exam and I achieved the required score without any real issues or gaps in my knowledge and I put this down to the on line learning that was supported with comprehensive study documents and lessons plans. I would highly recommend both the course and the learning provider who gave me support throughout, answering many questions on my next steps. I’m now looking to complete the NIST Cyber Security Framework 800-53 Practitioner Course in the coming weeks!"

"I recently completed the NIST Cyber Security Framework Foundation course and being welcomed into the online mentoring community, I would like to provide the fantastic feedback that this course deserves. The program was carefully designed and allowed me to progress at a speed that suited me as it was self-paced, this suited myself as a learner, allowing me to plan my study around work and family commitments. I found that all Chapters where well-presented and easy to understand and provided a solid foundation for understanding Cyber Risk, the NIST Cyber Security Framework alongside the core functions and Implementation Tiers. I now have a firm grasp of what I learnt and look forward to sitting the exam and progressing onto the next qualification as a NIST Cyber Security Framework 800-53 Practitioner. I have certainly benefited from completing this course. When you have tangible end results after taking a course, I can conclude this was a great one!"
