The instructor was incredible in his knowledge and adaptability. Unfortunately, the course may not be suitable for beginners.

the course was very interesting and the trainer was excellent. the trainer present was not the one initially planned and so the course, although very interesting and instructive, did not fit in with the programme. the level required was not for beginners but for IT network/security specialists. so you quickly find yourself lost and there is a language discrepancy. the report-writing part is also missing.
