I am roughly halfway through the course and so far finding it amazing. I started as a beginner, knowing almost nothing about IT and Cybersecurity and have quickly picked up a lot of skills and learnt a lot. At the start I was nervous it would be too fast paced and concerned that id be thrown straight in the deep end, however the pre-work provided is extremely helpful to get a general understanding of what's coming and also to learn the basic theory. Good amount of support and resources from the instructors, including career help and advice. Very good course.

Overall, it’s been a great experience and I’m really happy with the program. -
This is a challenging but well-structured program. The pace is fast as it goes through a lot, yet it keeps motivation high and leads to real progress. Damiano explains complex topics clearly, and the extra study materials consolidate knowledge and improve retention. Support from the team and staff is constant, and even beginners can quickly build confidence and practical cybersecurity skills. Challenging, but absolutely worth the effort.

I'm very happy with my decision to enroll in Unihackers because I have found a very welcoming environment. All the staff is there to help the student with everything and the program is great to learn from the basics to the more complicated topics. Personally I also like the attention they give to the student's skill, suggesting the best possible work field choice.
