5/5
Managing external facing application vulnerabilities and supporting remediation.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The content of the programme is really informative, managing the programme alongside work can be stressful but the benefits of being involved outweigh this.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, my knowledge and understanding of networking, threat vectors, vulnerability specifics and recommendations/mitigations has really developed
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme is well organised and the majority of the training courses have been really informative. Some of the order of the learnings have felt a little mixed, but overall they paint a good picture of cybersecurity.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer is very supportive when it comes to the assignments and helping to find the right projects so i am able to meet the requirements of the assignment.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
There are plenty of resources online and there is usually a week/3 days worth of training before any exams or assignments are due.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It has boosted my knowledge of vulnerabilities and vulnerability management. I have found some of the assignments to be a bit repetitive which i don't think have contributed to much better performance, but the teaching and resources have had a good impact on my role performance
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
due to the pandemic these activities have been very limited.
