    Having taken several Virsec courses, I can 100% say that they are some of the best online courses I have ever done.
    The courses are laid out well, making them easy to navigate and the quizzes and interactive content throughout are really useful as well and keep the content engaging.
    When I emailed to ask about what courses I needed, Virsec got back to me very quickly and were super polite and helpful in their response.
    Would highly recommend!
