This course was intended to prepare students for Cybersecurity jobs. It helped to write statement for professional identity, resume and elevator pitch. In addition, it provided information about detecting and responding to incidents, escalating incidents, communicating with stakeholders along with other important information one would need to be aware of while applying for job or working in an organization. It provided several resources such as Interview Warmup which helps students to use AI to practice how to answer interview questions. As usual, the course was made simple so that it was easy to follow. It was precise. and free from irrelevant information. There were many mentors too from Google who shared their experiences with students to motivate the students. I enjoyed it and hope that you enjoy it too.

The course material was comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics in-depth and with clarity. The instructors demonstrated a profound understanding of the subject matter and engaged students effectively throughout the learning process. What truly set this course apart was its emphasis on practical application, with hands-on exercises and real-world case studies that enabled me to immediately apply what I learned. I feel significantly more confident in my ability to navigate complex security challenges after completing this course, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their knowledge and skills in the field of security.

Very informative. For someone that's never done any form of IT job before, this was easy to follow and went at a pace that made the material obtainable. Would recommend to anyone interested in Cybersecurity or has previously worked as an investigator. The course used lots of examples and visual aids which really helps anyone that's a visual learner. The pop-quiz on the videos and the short quizes at the end of each section were an additional assistant in making sure that I was grasping everything I was reading and watching. Great job to Google and the people who helped create this course in the way it was put together. Had lots of fun going through the course and was able to work on it full-time and completed it within 6 weeks.
