    General Assembly
    General Assembly is an awesome tool to use when you want to gain more knowledge about a certain topic. It provides workshops and classes that you can take on a one-time basis with no contract. This is a great way to dip your toe in the water and see if you want to take a full on course

    For cybersecurity practitioners interested in advancing their skillset in deeply technical matters, Offensive Security Cybersecurity Courses and Certifications offers some of the most well respected, up to date, technically challenging and comprehensive training courses out there; however, users must be very disciplined, determined and resourceful in order to make the most of the high quality content on offer since good time management is critical and "Try Harder" isn't just a motto for Offensive Security Cybersecurity Courses and Certifications given the content could frustrate some inexperienced users that may be pressed for time and don't have enough drive to spend learning a good amount of possibly unfamiliar but essential content and concepts

    It's suited well to support on developing a project and following a set curriculum to get things and material in order. Also it has the idea of a nano-degree as the mini-certification to focus on working through a program over a course of a few months. It's more of an interactive course and best for having access for a set period of time. It helps to prepare well for exams but less beneficial when it comes to more applications I find, and should not be used to supplant any resource, but to use in conjunction with.

    • The exams are quite hard to pass and some require a lot of hours to be spent on them which might leave some exhausted
    • Some of the content can be hard to remember since there is a lot of syntax that might be intimidating to users not familiar with something similar from before
    • Perhaps consider more specific, tailored courses rather than courses which cover many topics at once which might not necessarily be within the same niche
    • More human to human interaction could be beneficial to prepare for the exams sometimes

    • Quiz questions in some cases could be made clearer. I didn't feel the questions were always phrased in a way that I could easily understand what was being asked.
    • Requests for support can sometimes take a very long time to get resolved.
    • Cost structure changed from a fixed-price model to a subscription-only model, and prices are significantly increased as such.

    They are already very good. But, would be great if Udacity improves the area of standardizing offline projects and exercises so that people could attempt to work offline. Including documentation on how to do it. More practical or real-world projects to choose and work on after course completion. Maybe a community can do it.

    I didn't personally have any issues with the program, but scheduling time to review the final project was easy, and the assistant was pleasant to work with.

    I don't typically use Kahn Academy, but it serves a similar purpose which is training an individual in different topics. I personally love being able to attend classes in person at General Assembly so I would chose that over Kahn Academy. However, Kahn Academy is free and General Assembly sometimes costs money. All in all I would still chose General Assembly

    Offensive Security Cybersecurity Courses and Certifications are very comprehensive, regularly kept up to date and, unlike some other courses out there, are quite challenging and technically demanding even for industry colleagues who've been in the field for many years; for this reason, Offensive Security Cybersecurity Courses and Certifications is excellent for your more senior cyber security analysts/engineers as it will enable these technical experts in your organisation to further enhance their knowledge and learn some new tricks that they can then bring back to the workplace to share with the rest of the team

    I combined my learning from various platforms and did on exclusively reply on any one. However, the free courses in Udacity lacks the comprehensiveness as Coursera.

    • I am already in a great position as a CTO with a great company. I hope to be able to build some new technology with what I am learning, but I haven't applied any of it yet to my own real-world problems. I will though.
