This training could be substituted with a 5-minute YouTube video. Not worth it.

It's clear and straightforward. It showed me things I'd never seen before. It was good for that. HOWEVER, it was VERY BASIC. Though I haven't looked on YouTube, I bet you could find MUCH better content there for FREE (and since this cost money, I'd say it's NOT WORTH IT.)

Only suitable for newbie with 0 knowledge. Not worth 10$

For Beginners to be taken extremely literal. Could be nice for someone with 0 knowledge of computers. Not worth $10. Gives the bare minimum of knowledge with Windows Defender and allowing / blocking in Windows Firewall. Could use more tasks in the labs to understand more functions and false flags.
