You just got a new subscriber! your information was so calming, fulfilling, inspiring most especially, encouraging. And I respect your dedication, consistency of not giving up, and being proud of your achievement. I could feel the joy on your face of you passing the exam and not giving up.
Thank you for sharing those kind words and subscribing! Jumping in front of the camera has been an adjustment but it will only help me learn more and teach others effectively.
Great video! Your advice is the reason I chose BTL1 and I am so glad I did. I have complete the training material and I am now brushing up on my notes. I have registered for Notion and will go back and spruce up my notes as you've recommended. You're sharing some really good feedback and I will be taking the exam soon! Thanks TCD.
Great video man well done 👏🏾 so proud of you and that swag looked fired. I'm considering it big time just waiting to start this part time fed ex job. I'll use that to pay down some bills and put in the cc. I want to finish off 2024 going for another cert to land a soc job in the Spring 2025. I wish you the best I'll stay in rough and update you. Darrel Christian 🙏🏾
I enjoyed your video. I am doing some IT courses right now and I am trying to figure out what I should use for note taking, etc. You mentioned notion? Any thoughts on obsidian or logsec? Are you able to share your notion for this exam as an idea of how it works?
Thank you and imo based on what is mentioned In HTB CDSA you will get similar experience to the BTL1. Proving you truly know the material by competing a practical real investigation. Also they allow for a retake just like the BTL1. It's all preference so if you're already using their platform and like how they present the information go with them. HR depts. aren't requiring BTL1 specifically so just learn the information and use it.
@@topcyberdawg Thank you for your reply, but then how do I enter the job market as a Junior SOC Analyst with the HDSA certification? What do recruiters require for that profile? Thank you.
@@manuelespinozar8268 Same as you would if you obtained the BTL1. Leverage what you learned and actually did while investigating during the exam. Example both certs expose you to Splunk which is needed for some roles today. Tailor your resume to speak for all that you have done to obtain your HDSA. It's no guarantee of course but you will gain hands on experience that you can leverage.
No, in my opinion look into Sec+ first then the BTL1. But if you know the material listed on the Sec+ objectives and have experience in IT already I would go for it.

Thank you Darrel! I hear you on the price tag but it was SO worth it. Please report back once you pass or if you have any questions don't hesitate.

Solid video! 👍🏾
Hey there,
All the notes on notion is note that you made ?
I've just finished a MSc in cybersecurity, would the BTL1 cert be ideal to do next to add to my CV?
Congrats!
Thank you Malik! Your story inspired me to keep going as well.
Great video! can you please tell all the resources you used to pass the exam
I am going to take the BTL1 exam beginning of next month
Best of luck and let me know how you do. Remember to answer each question slowly and take your time.
Does the course have video lessons or is it text based ty
Yes, it's paired nicely together! They come in handy come exam time.
Do you have prior work experience before taking BTL1?
@@joshuabautista3042 Yes, Working various Helpdesk and Field service roles since 2017.
Excellent video, from your experience is BTL1 better than Hack the Box's CDSA?

Do we have any study documents for BTL1
No independent documents to download but the course material has all you need and you can create your own study documents.
Thank bruv
Would you recommend this cert as my first cert?
No, in my opinion look into Sec+ first then the BTL1. But if you know the material listed on the Sec+ objectives and have experience in IT already I would go for it.
How long did it take you to study for your exam?
@@Sac247 7-8 months for me some got it down within 6 months. Overall with testing it took me 10 months.
Looks fun so im doing regardless of benefit. Then everything cyberdefenders has
It was a challenge but very fun and I felt like a real Analyst.
