Testimonials

The session was excellent! It significantly improved my understanding of cyber security. I found the discussion on the different levels of CISCO Certifications and various types of cybersecurity attacks especially useful. The content was clear, relevant, and easy to follow. Thank you for such an informative session.

Darleen Scopy

The session was excellent and extremely helpful for my career preparation. The facilitator delivered the content very clearly, and I found the step-by-step guidance on writing a good cover letter and CV particularly valuable. After this session, I feel more confident in presenting myself professionally. Thank you for such a practical and well-structured session!

Hannah Kasa

I had the opportunity to attend both the Cyber Security and CV Writing sessions, and I must say they were both excellent. The Cyber Security session enhanced my understanding of key concepts like two-step authentication, while the CV Writing session gave me clear and practical steps for crafting a strong cover letter and CV. The facilitators delivered the content very clearly, and both sessions were highly relevant to my career development. I now feel more confident in presenting myself professionally and more aware of how to protect myself online. These sessions have truly been insightful and empowering.
