Here's What People Are Saying About Cybersec Trainings

Emanuel Paun

Mohammad was an amazing professor. I do not have a strong networking background and Mohammad was very patient in teaching me the basics in topics like wireless. The way he taught (hands on/labs) really helped solidify everything we learned through the 5 days of classes. I have nothing but positive feedback for the way he taught these course and his personality was amazing. 10/10 professor.

Alberto Feoli
