I joined this course after completing my two years in Networking Technologies (Level 6) at TU Dublin. Cyber Security seemed like a natural path to me as I really enjoy the field and subjects. I’m currently working in the Data Centre field, and I plan to move my skills to the realm of the Cybersecurity in the future. I chose the part-time course because I work full time and this option allowed me to balance both. The course itself is doable for a person working full-time. The lecturers have a sound knowledge of what they’re teaching, and the subjects are fresh and relevant to the field and industry needs. I feel much more capable and confident in the skills I have acquired during the course.
