Cybersecurity (Part-Time) Reviews

I was a student of the Institute of Data Cybersecurity Cohort in 2022, and the concept it employs includes lectures, laboratory work for hands-on experience of cybersecurity principles and tools, and soft skills development. The 6-month journey provides an overall understanding of cybersecurity and application in the real world. It's rare to find a cohort where every aspect of the course is taught by an instructor who relates to the industry's reality. In 2022, I was hired as a sales engineering manager for an OT cybersecurity solution provider, and currently I am the head of cybersecurity training and development for a consultancy corporation. The course helps and guides me on my journey to be a cybersecurity professional.

Working at the Institute of Data as a trainer has been a great opportunity to give back to the students who are interested in Cybersecurity. I’ve enjoyed building connections with them and seeing the students grow in their knowledge and abilities throughout the length of the class. Teaching is a two-way street, and I also get to be continuously learning from the students challenging me with their questions and new perspectives. It has been very fulfilling to contribute to their education and help them pursue their dreams. I always have great support from the entire IOD team, and we work together to ensure that the students have the best outcomes from the course.

The course struck the perfect balance between in-depth knowledge and practical skills, all while keeping it fun and interactive. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to level up their cybersecurity career!
