I recently completed a grad Cert in cyber security, and a large initial part of the practicals were to just go through otw and complete some of the lessons. It’s a great resource, and had I known about it before hand I probably wouldn’t have bothered paying so much for the course and just completed the otw exercises instead :/

Asking out of curiosity, have you completed otw completely? How much of it do you feel it helped you in your course?

I'm already learning so much from the bandit exercises itself (which I believe are for entry level folks) So completing all of it would be so fascinating.

Nice! I certainly haven’t completed all of them, just bandit, the web based one, and one of the mediumish ones, and maybe not even all of it, I can’t remember which one tbh. Definitely a fantastic learning resource, once my brain has had a bit of downtime from the course I’m planning on going back and doing more otw.

Really I think that just speaks to the weakness of grad level certs. OTW and it’s offerings are fantastic but still entry level.

Yep, I definitely wouldn’t have done the grad Cert if I knew how weak it would be, was very expensive and very disappointing.
