Overall Satisfaction with Infosec Skills

As a senior penetration tester, I wanted to add to my skillset and looked at the available options, and chose InfoSec Skills to gain a needed certification. Since IACRB uses InfoSec Skills as a primary training platform, the decision was easy to make. I completed the course and took additional resources as well to broaden my knowledge of the area I was concentrating on to finalize and pass the exam. Once I passed the Certified Reverse Engineer Analysis (CREA) exam and obtained my certification I achieved what I wanted. InfoSec Skills was directly responsible for the success I had.

Pros

  • Detailed Training Videos
  • Specific content related to an information technology subject
  • Competitive pricing

Cons

  • Adding to course content with updated material related to today's threats
  • Matching certification exams with course content so it is more instructive

InfoSec Skills is practical and direct and can be used to gain an industry-rated and recognized certification that can be used to elevate one's professional standing. There are other training platforms, but none that I have found to be directly associated with a world-recognized vendor.
I am able to use the CREA certification I obtained by taking the exam from IACRB through Infosec Skills to elevate my standing in my company. I was given an increase in salary as well.
Infosec Skills has a great walk-through lab environment. It's close to on-the-job training and allows the student to get familiar with tools and tasks in a sandbox environment.
Very user friendly.
I think with the recent pandemic, having quality training for those of us that had to purchase it out of pocket was great. Everything worked flawlessly and I got the training I was looking for without the huge price tag like some other vendors have. The labs could be more detailed for those areas that might be new to those people who are looking at getting into something different and training in a field that has more possibilities for them.
