Assessment#
Here are some opinions from our training participants in CRC'26:
Testimonials#
2026 training participant 1
The course is of a high standard. In addition to more general presentations, the course places a strong emphasis on cybersecurity within organizations, which sets it apart from many others. This approach provides insight into the hierarchy and work of cybersecurity teams in companies, rather than just offering a dose of technical knowledge often taken out of context, which helps participants better identify the area that interests them.
2026 training participant 2
It was better than my postgraduate study :)
2026 training participant 3
You guys did great job. I have comparison to other CRC courses my wife is attending, and You are well prepared, engaging your students and showing some real life experience. It's not easy to use the Saturday as another session of learning and watching stuff, but You made it easy to handle. Lots of knowledge, practical tips and tricks, and really inspiring. Keep it going this way, Thanks a lot for every information You shared, Take care!
2026 training participant 4
The course was very rich in content and most of the sessions were very informative. I would definitely recommend the course to others. I believe that CRC allowed me to gather more resources and links to orient my career towards cyber. As I am on the beginning of this path these additional resources are an important guidance for me. There were some sessions I liked the most, some not so much but I am convinced that it is normal for such a detailed and varied course. Thank you so much for taking the time to prepare for your sessions and present them to us. Attending the course was a pleasure!
2026 training participant 5
The course was exceptionally well-organized, and the schedule of both classes and topics was perfectly structured. Thanks to this, even the more complex concepts were easy to follow and understand
2026 training participant 6
I loved this course very much. It was an amazing experience, and I learned so much. I actually got a chance to join a cybersecurity club at my university thanks to your lectures/labs, so thank you :D
2026 training participant 7
I think the course is overall very interesting. Obviously, I can only speak for myself, but I believe over the last weeks, I have learned much more about cybersecurity than I even wanted in the first place. So, if I were to rate it on a scale from 1 to 10, I think 8/10 would be my grade. Because, there is always room for improvement. I don't know, maybe longer dinner breaks? That would make it 9/10 for sure. Thank you for the entire course :).
2026 training participant 8
From the perspective of someone who has been working in the field for four years, in a slightly different branch of IT than cybersecurity (SAP development, and previously e-commerce web development based on data from a different ERP system), I would say that 'it goes without saying that a single course isn’t enough to fully prepare someone for their first job.' At least that’s my general impression, and this applies to this course as well. However, the number of hours would have to be even greater and/or more difficult exams would likely be needed to motivate some people to actually spend a little more time studying between classes. On the other hand, as a cyber layperson, I consider the course content to be very comprehensive, and the instructors seemed extremely competent. I appreciate the more relaxed atmosphere, without the pressure to perform, constant competency checks at every stage, homework, etc. It would be nice to add even more practical examples; in my opinion, even a 15-minute “mini-lab” in every class would be useful. Though, of course, I remember that in a few classes the instructors booted up a VM or some prepared environment and demonstrated practical work, a great thing.
What this course does well, in fact, superbly, is showcase the various “subcategories” of cybersecurity work. It lets you “dip your toes” into each topic to see if it’s for you or not, and it provides a solid foundation for you to develop your skills in the areas that interest you. That’s exactly what I was expecting when I signed up for the course, which is why I’m very satisfied.
2026 training participant 9
Showcasing as many of the technologies used in the industry as possible. Real-world case studies. Showing what it’s like to work at a company. University instructors teach technologies that haven’t been used in a long time. They aren’t up to date with the latest developments. The academic approach is up to 20 years out of date, and for some people, these courses are the only reliable source that can provide insight into what current work tools look like today.
2026 training participant 10
I’m really happy with the course :) I’d recommend it to anyone who is interested in cybersecurity! I learned a lot. I didn’t expect to gain such a wealth of knowledge. Overall, the course was exceptionally well-organized: GitHub, the schedule, the content, everything was spot on.
2026 training participant 11
I am very satisfied. The condensed knowledge from areas that nowadays require a great deal of research, through literature, articles, and posts on forums and blogs, has allowed me to delve into an industry that I initially found terribly confusing and complicated. I’ve identified areas I’d like to explore further, as well as those I’d prefer to steer clear of. The materials were well-organized and easy to analyze, and the way most of the workshops were conducted broke the traditional teacher-student dynamic, which is a definite plus and allows for learning in a pleasant way, unlike academic lectures.
2026 training participant 12
As someone who only recently became interested in cybersecurity, the course was incredibly helpful. It’s a shame some of the sessions weren’t even longer. I would have happily spent 10 hours in class. I enjoyed the hands-on demonstrations, but there could always be more of them.
2026 training participant 13
It was a good, comprehensive course that covered many aspects of cybersecurity, which I think is particularly beneficial for people who aren’t yet sure which career path they’d like to pursue. I really appreciate the time ING professionals spent creating the presentations and sharing their work experience and knowledge with the students. A highlight for me was the series of presentations on Vulnerability Assessment with Nessus, as it was hands-on, well-structured, and I learned something new.
2026 training participant 14
Overall, it was great, because I don’t have a background in computer science, and I finally had the chance to get a broad overview of the subject and refresh my knowledge from a practical perspective within a large organization. I’d taken various cybersecurity courses before, one at SGH, others online like *** on YouTube or Udemy, and I’d dabbled in different topics both academically and professionally, but here I was shown things I hadn’t expected, or things I had expected but was still surprised by how they work at ING. On top of that, the tools were something I knew almost nothing about before, so that really impressed me. I think this is a very valuable course that filled in the gaps in my knowledge from when I was involved in IT auditing. Additionally, I can see how things have changed from how they were back then to how they are now. A very valuable and interesting experience, especially the various tools and the hands-on workshop portion.
2026 training participant 15
This is a very comprehensive and intensive course that explores many aspects of cybersecurity in general.
2026 training participant 16
My overall thoughts on the course are very positive. The online format is highly convenient, allowing me to learn from anywhere. The knowledge was presented in a clear and accessible way, making the material easy to understand. I don't have any specific suggestions for improvement right now, as the course fully met my expectations.
2026 training participant 17
I learned about several tools I hadn't known about before and expanded my knowledge of cybersecurity structures in larger companies.
2026 training participant 18
Positive, I'm glad I was able to spend my free time learning such interesting things.
2026 training participant 19
The course instructors demonstrated great dedication, extensive knowledge, and a willingness to share that knowledge with the participants. The course was very well organized. I’m looking forward to next year’s CRC sessions. Best regards.
2026 training participant 20
It was a really interesting and fun course. Thank you for the opportunity to participate :) Best regards to all the teachers, and thank you for the great presentations!

2026 training participant 23
GREAT COURSE - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
2026 training participant 24
The best classes were the hands-on ones. The knowledge was very useful, and everything was really interesting.
2026 training participant 25
Personally, I really enjoyed the course. I’m a hands-on person, so I retained the most from the practical sessions, and I don’t think you can ever have too much of that :)
2026 training participant 26
Overall, the course was okay, and I don't have any suggestions for improvement at this time :)
2026 training participant 27
The course covered interesting topics related to cybersecurity and was well-organized.
2026 training participant 28
The course was really cool and enjoyable. I learned a lot of interesting things. I think everything was well-structured for the course that covers cybersecurity on its own, it’s fine. There are probably separate courses for the different areas of the sector :)
2026 training participant 29
In my opinion, the course did an excellent job of conveying the essence of cybersecurity and covering most of its aspects. I found it very valuable, and it highlighted some areas that were only briefly touched upon during my studies in a related field. A major plus is definitely the very strong team of instructors, who have extensive experience and convey their knowledge with enthusiasm and in an engaging way. I would certainly recommend this course to my friends.
2026 training participant 30
I liked the fact that the lectures presented during the course were very diverse. I had the opportunity to learn cybersecurity from many points of view.
2026 training participant 31
I am very pleased with the knowledge I gained during this course. It is an excellent way to learn cybersecurity from the ground up, and this course has certainly encouraged me to further my knowledge in the field of cybersecurity. The length of the material is appropriate, there isn’t too much monotonous material, the breaks are adequate (the only suggestion would be to extend the long break from 20 to 30 minutes :D), and the materials themselves were easy to understand from start to finish. Thank you very much for the knowledge you’ve shared :D
2026 training participant 32
The course was too short.
2026 training participant 33
Really good course, with the knowledge that is really functional and needed. The course was recommended to me and definitely it was the best time spend.
2026 training participant 34
The course was really great, very well-prepared and presented in an engaging way. The only thing I wish there had been more of were practical examples, since they help reinforce the material. Other than that, I rate everything very positive, it was a fantastic course.
2026 training participant 35
I highly recommend this course to everyone. The instructors are great and teach with passion!
2026 training participant 36
The course was good and interesting, and I enjoyed it.
2026 training participant 37
The course was great and supported by many examples. I liked it very much. Nothing to change.
2026 training participant 38
The course was very well prepared and covered many useful cybersecurity topics. The exams were fair and matched the course materials. I especially liked the practical examples and clear explanations.
One more possible improvement would be adding more hands-on labs e.g such as those from Kali Linux. Overall, I learned a lot and would recommend this course to others. It would also be helpful to include more short quizzes after each module to help reinforce the knowledge and better prepare for finale exams.
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in such a well-organized and valuable course. I appreciate the work and commitment of the entire CRC team. Best regards to everyone involved!
2026 training participant 39

There were plenty of sessions featuring hands-on exercises. I am glad I was able to participate in this course, and I would like to thank the organizers and instructors for putting it together and dedicating their free time to it.
2026 training participant 41
I really liked the advanced nature of the course. Considering the number of hours and the topics covered, the course compares very favorably to other training programs of this type (e.g., those offered under the CRC Program), as it not only provides a brief theoretical introduction to the subject but also describes cybersecurity-related aspects in great detail, supplemented by practical elements.
2026 training participant 42
It was a very informative course and the material was presented in an engaging way. Sometimes the breaks were a bit short after a few long hours.
2026 training participant 43
Everything went well. I'm very happy with the course.
2026 training participant 44
The course was well-organised and provided a useful cybersecurity introduction. The topics seemed relevant and practical. I appreciate that the course included theoretical concepts as well as the instructors and lecturers provided real-world examples.

2026 training participant 54
I really enjoyed the course, especially the fact that the topic of cybersecurity was presented from many different perspectives. We learned about a whole range of tools, standards, and documents that could be useful to us in the future. There was a lot of theory, but also plenty of practical demonstrations and real-life examples, which was great.
2026 training participant 55
This course was certainly interesting and show us how to be safe not only in work but in our private life. The knowledge gained was worth the time spent.
