Testimonials
I am having almost 14 years of Experience in Software Development, mainly web application development and am currently working as a Technical Project Manager. I was always attracted to cybersecurity. When great learning offered the certification from Stanford, I decided to have it and get my career a makeover for the KOUSHIK MITRA future. Technical Project Manager I liked the course very well. It is very crisp and extensive in a shorter period of time. I rate the experience very high, almost 4.5.
The experience in the course has been phenomenal, and all my expectations have been met. The content from Stanford is a great starting point, and also includes inputs from industry-leading experts working at companies such as Google, etc. At the same time, the mentorship sessions allow a more interactive experience and help explain the critical ANKINEEDU concepts better. MAGANTI Managing Director If I had to convert this to a rating, I would unhesitatingly rate the program and the support team 5 on 5. Testimonials
Each Module covers important topics under Cyber Security and the hands on projects help augment the learning. The practical lab sessions were quite useful and interesting. The sessions conducted by the Industry Experts were excellent. They explain each and every concept with real world examples. SRI KARTHIK SRINIVASAN Cyber Security Analyst
I am a working professional and it was hard to get time off from work and go to classes, so an online course from a reputable institution such as Stanford was the best way forward. Also, I found it value for money compared to the other courses in the market.
I liked the practical real life examples which I DUDLEY could play around with in my virtual sessions. THOMPSON Also, it was easy to get in touch with the support Technical analyst and teaching staff. Gauthami, the program manager, was very helpful in resolving issues I had faced and was quite supportive.” Admission Details
