This course only touches the basics of Cybersecurity which are things you can learn on YouTube for free. It was informative and gives you a slight idea of what different careers in cybersecurity would be like but definitely not worth the price. Their brochure states that it gives "foundational cybersecurity knowledge" and that is NOT a lie. Do not waste your money thinking you will come out ready to hit the ground running. The career prep could not be taken seriously in my opinion as they have you put skills on your resume that you have heard of in their course, but are not competent in at all. The MIT instructors are great as well as the Emeritus instructors, but please do not waste your money on this if you are completely new to cybersecurity and hoping to make a career change. You will still have so much to learn after the program is over that you will feel like you wasted your time and money that could have went to a bootcamp with more hands on experience instead of endless discussion boards.

I have enrolled into this Cybersecurity bootcamp hoping that i would get an entry level job after i graduated. not only that i didn't , i didn't even have the technical skills needed to do anything related to IT. this program is a complete waste of time and money. I was about to leave it in the middle but by then i have already invested so much time into it while the support issured me that it will get better and i will get some kind of hands on experience at the end. i will try to lay down the points below : - Videos are informative, some boring - out of 100% of hands on trainings this course will provide you with 5% top. - compared to other programs its the cheapest but i found out why after i finished the course because i didn't learn anything new besides the general information about cybersecurity.My advise to anyone who wants to change careers and get into cyber security go learn Security + or CCNA on Youtube for free and take the exams that will guarantee you an entry level job not this program.

Your Experience With The MIT xPRO Professional Certificate in Cybersecurity
Student 2022
This is a really good moneymaking machine. Using MIT’s name to get people to enroll. Then when you contact support and had to withdraw, they wont even review special circumstances and you will have to deal with a robot-like email replies from their main office in Singapore. I was enrolled in Professional Cybersecurity Program and Now I am stuck in paying $3700 (i got partially reimbursed) for something I cant even use.The assigments are too much and very redundant. Not much hands on assigments. It’s all what if situation. This was a horrible experience. I will not recommend this to anybody
