Thank you, Josh. I really want to take this course, but I can't afford to pay at once. Are there any other payment plans that can help? I'm outside the US. Please let me know. Thank You.
I recently found your channel and the impact you’ve made on my family is HUGE! My daughter is currently in your IT course and loves it! I’m signing up for this one! Thanks to you we’re building a Tech Family Dynasty!
I recently started my first cyber security job, but I still think I’m going to take this course. It seems to cover a whole bunch of items I don’t have experience with and will make my resume that much better.
@@joemomma8830 Sure of course. Long story short, I got my sec+ and then enrolled in a cyber security boot camp where I learned a lot of tools and gained hands on experience. Started applying and eventually found something. But I should mention I was doing IT support for 7 years prior to that and I also got a masters degree in cyber security about 8 years ago, so I think those things helped me land interviews. A lot of people did that boot camp though with no prior experience and got jobs.
@@JoshMadakor of course. Thank YOU for creating all of this content. I truly don’t know how you have the time to do all this… a full time job, you run a TH-cam channel, you create these in-depth IT courses, and not to mention a personal life lol. Thanks Josh
Absolutely life changing..Gosh I couldn’t be any more grateful for you man! This is the ticket in for sure..Thanks for all you do man! Will always support you in this journey..
This is amazing man. Great way to figure out how to get us newbies some real experience. I plan to take this course for sure when I get another semester or two under my belt at WGU
I plan to take your course after I finish Google Careers Cybersecurity. I just started last week and I am in week 3 of the first course. From what I seen on your video, your course will help me gain experience which a big need for me. And THANK YOU for keeping the price the same. It makes a big difference of being able to take this course or not for me💗
I don't usually even comment on vids but Josh you are A.W.E.S.O.M.E. been subscribed for at least a year and always love your approach and how you make entering any of these fields seem very doable with the right kind of work, applied knowledge and attitude. I thought there was no hope for me entering the cybersecurity field at entry level but here it is! God bless you
This looks like an incredible course, Josh! Thank you! I'm a respiratory therapist with an extensive background in sales but I've wanted to pivot towards IT and cybersecurity for a couple of years now. I'm excited to learn that the Google certificate AND your course may be the solution I've looked for to gain the knowledge and real-world experience necessary to make a successful transition. I look forward to learning more and hopefully enrolling soon!
Come on Josh! I'm half way through Course Careers right now. If I knew you were gonna build this cybersecurity course, I would've waited for this!...I'm trying to get into cybersecurity, not help desk. I think you have great content and very informative. Keep up the good work!
@Josh Madakor - Tech, Education, Career Is it still possible to enter cybersecurity after finishing CourseCareers? I want to get into GRC or PCI DSS. Help me out bro!
@@JoshMadakorHey Josh my question is similar to that asked by @maine6643.I am particularly interested in the the GRC side of things.I know you mentioned something like that towards the end of the video.Can one land a job may be in Governance/ compliance after taking this course?Is a degree required to land a job.You also mentioned a CISSP course.when will that be ready?Please reply
Man…the amount of content covered in this course makes it so worth it! Once I finish the Google cyber sec program and Blue Team Level 1 Cert, I’m doing this forsure
Thank you Josh for this valuable information. I have been using the CompTIA A+ card deck to study. I was thinking that if this man drops the CompTIA Security+ card deck it must be meant for me to do this! And look a here... you did it!! Thank you for all that you do!
This is actually brilliant. Being a BS IT graduate from WGU. and all of the certs that come with that. Getting out and looking at just support entry level they want 1-3 years of experience. I have a family so 60K would be nice to start at. If intern is on resume I think that would make getting a job of higher value would make me better off. Great content.
I've been following you for a while now. I wish I could afford this course, but unfortunately, I just can't. The Navy doesn't pay well (contrary to popular belief). Looks pretty solid. Thanks for taking the time and putting it together.
Thanks Kaleb! My friend is building AZ-900 / AZ-500 decks (they go really well with this course), and I'm building a CISSP deck now hehe. Thanks for commenting BTW :)
Thank you so much for always paying it forward Josh. I have you to thank for me getting a job in cybersecurity. Your advice and products are so useful. I can feel your passion with each video. Thanks again!
Can’t say how grateful I am for this course and all the work you’ve done to share this with all of us. I am almost done with your IT course, and will be getting this one now! Thanks Josh! 🙏
Thanks Josh! I have been looking around for an affordable Cybersecurity course with good value and of course you more than exceeded my expectations. You have really helped to change my career and the least I can do is say thanks. FYI I have already purchased the course and can't wait to get started. Lol
😮I wish this course came out before I signed up for the Technical Sales course. This is more my speed. I know you teach IT on Course Careers and a lot of us on discord would have loved to have this as a option…I’m going to spread the word.
@@TestStrips No, I have not. Many of the students have just not at the starting pay that most of the videos say. I can’t speak to the other courses taught as those students are not in my discord.
@@simplyjean9188OK,I actually bought that course.I haven't had the time to finish it but should soon.Have you really gone hard on job hunting/applications?
Could you explain this experience thing with the discord in more detail? I’m still kinda confused actually. But nevertheless great job Josh! Because of your IT course I was able to land a couple interviews which are still ongoing. Hopefully I land a job. You are a lifesaver! Thank you!
That's awesome about your interviews, and sure about the experience part: Someone signs up for the course. They start working through the labs. They notice other people struggling in Discord and offer to help them. They fill out the Experience sheet (datetime, what they did, link to chat in discord). They send that filled out thing to me, then they can put my company on their resume with one of the three titles I outlined in the video and I will serve as their reference! That's all. best of luck with the job hunt
Thank God a course that give you hands on experience because the program I’m in now is good but is lacking that hands on experience which is what I need some one to show me how to complete and execute the job not just throwing u out there and making u figure it out yourself
This is great! As someone who's just starting into my career change into Cybersecurity this is a great learning tool and a way to get real world experience
You put an immense amount of thought into this and I am very intrigued. I would love to take the course; however, I am working full time toward a bachelor's degree. I am definitely interested in asking scheduling-based questions about this program. Thank you for your this opportunity as it sounds very promising!
Hey Matt! Glad it looks good! Basically, once you sign up, you get access "forever" (or until the company is goes away or until someone else acquires the company and changes the rules). The only other scheduling thing is, this will be on sale at 497 until may, then it becomes 997. That's all!
There were a few times I would tell myself, man this discord is like a “helpdesk” 😂 The fact that you’re doing this for the community, is beyond incredible. Notnto mention the great course and all the free content you post 👏🏼 you’re the man, Josh! Thanks for everything.
It seriously is like a help desk, lol. I didn't even realize. I was like, WAIT. The students should be doing this lol.. Thanks so much for saying that, gives me some fuel to try to keep doing stuff haha. Btw I quit my Microsoft job already, but aint announce it lol. I will try to focus more on our community and stuff now
This was quite informative! Appreciate everything you do for the community and I look forward to taking this course. When you mention vms will we be using VIrtual Box, VMware or Azure VM for this course?
Lol first of all, nice name. And that means a lot to me. I have this thing where I try to over-deliver and make the course worth more than it sells for, haha. Thanks again^^
I am from non IT background but I am thinking to switch to IT and into Cybersecurity. I know Josh you have developed lot of IT courses and looking at the comments, it seems like your courses are helping a lot. Please advise as a non IT background, will this course help be to get into cyber security or do I need some pre-requisite to start this course. Your response will be appreciated and I would also like anyone on this channel to please put your suggestions. Thanks
Hey Kanam! Hey! The idea is that Cyber is not really entry-level, so I RECOMMEND having experience first--it doesn't have to be W2/job experience, but some kind of experience will be best. There are no hard requirements for joining the course though. I have implemented a few things to help with the lack of experience, such as the experience generating component I mentioned in this video as well as the Sec+ Anki Deck. If you are brand-brand new, the IT course is a good bet and will get you acclimated to computing and Azure/Cloud. ( joshmadakor.tech/it ) Hope this helps!
Hey Josh! Love this video and I think this course is great. So I've been a SOC analyst for about 2 years now. Although I'm doing pretty well I feel like I'm lacking in some areas. I really want to take my knowledge and skills to the next level. Do you think this course would benefit me or is it something that's for someone with zero experience. What I like most about what you said is the incident response practice.
Yeah , I'd be interested to know what he says since you already have experience(In a similar position) . I would also want to know how this is compared to something like the CYSA+?
Dang you're a SOC analyst already in Security haha. I guess I'd need to know exactly what you do at work to answer. No doubt the course will help with SOMETHING, but if you are already "in the mix" i don't know how much value you will get vs someone who is in help desk trying to make the transition. I hope this makes sense! If you have really specific/detailed questions about anything, feel free to make a new comment so I get a notification :)
CySA+ and AZ-500 compliment this course really well, but it kinda depends how much experience you have already. If you are sitting around in a real-deal SOC doing IR all day, you might not get as much out of it as someone who is doing help desk, but it's hard to tell. Sorry for the non-answer :(
@@JoshMadakor No no need to apologize. This answer helps a ton! I’ll look into the AZ-500 and CySA+. And maybe I’ll still take your course because I love your teaching style and delivery of complex concepts. Thankfully my company gives me a very generous yearly professional development stipend so it wouldn’t be out of pocket. I appreciate you and your content. I’ll definitely tell friends and coworkers about this course. Keep posting good eats on your IG 😂😂✌🏾
@@muhammado.13 Oh shoot, that's awesome to hear, also thanks so much for the kind words and feedback haha. Really appreciate it! about the IG, I tend to post a lot more when I'm around social media manager lmao. Well, she either makes me post or posts for me, hahaha. She's gonna come to thailand then I'll go back to Japan with her later this month, so you can expect some more foods haha. Thanks again :)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Glad I found your content. I think you are spot on with this format., I will definitely be sharing your content with friends, family, and followers. I have already signed up. Thanks Again.
Hey Josh!! Do you know when you will release made a hands-on course on Vulnerability-management Module?? Can’t wait for it. Thank you so much for all ur doing man. Thanks again.
Thanks Gael! No plans yet, but I will probably start to work more seriously on stuff in May when I'm back in Japan :) - I'm in Thai now, trying to take a rest but I keep working lol :(
Paid for the cybersecurity course but don't have access. Not sure why the lessons aren't showing up on my dashboard. Would love to start going through the course ASAP since it's the weekend. Thanks.
@Josh Madakor - Tech, Education, Career josh have you ever thought about partnering with a recruiter to help your students find a job after your course?
I’m currently debating whether to take this course or the course careers course. I see that you an instructor there. What is the main difference? Thank you!
Hello! The idea is that Cyber is not really entry-level, so I recommend having some baseline cyber knowledge--it doesn't have to be W2/job experience, but some kind of experience will be best. (For example, having gone through Google's cybersecurity program would be good.) There are no hard requirements for joining the course though. I have implemented a few things to help with the lack of experience, such as the internship component I mentioned in this video as well as the Sec+ Anki Deck. If you are brand-brand new, the IT course is a good bet and will get you acclimated to computing and Azure/Cloud: joshmadakor.tech/it If you feel comfy and you are fine with the Cyber learning curve, I would check out the explanation video on the landing page if you haven’t already: joshmadakor.tech/cyber Hope this helps!
I'm about to finish my Master Degree in Cybersecurity and Privacy next Debruary, but I'm tired to getting rejected from all positions I apply because I do not have 1,2 or 3 years EXP even for ENTRY LEVEL positions. I even got rejected from an INTERSHIP JOB because the "end client" was looking for someone with exp ... So my HANDS ON EXP are so far my projects I was doing while studying the Master Degree and some Home Labs I create with videos like yours.
Josh, first love the content. Secondly I am curious about the prerequisites for your course. I know you don't "technically" need them but I am taking my Network+ today. Should I do Security + first or go into this course first?
There aren't really any prereqs, but I designed the course for people who have Sec+ in mind who need *something* extra to help them bridge the gap to actually landing a job. However taking the course, THEN studying Sec+ will give you some context into the stuff you are learning in Sec+. You can always do the labs in the course a second time as well, as you get "lifetime" access. Hope this helps!
Hi @JoshMadakor, just a simple question. What kind of learning model is implemented for the course? Is it buy and keep like Udemy or more like a yearly lease like Boson and similar programs. Also, a clarification is it on sale only up till May 1st? I.E., April 30th or May 31st? Thanks in advance for the clarification.
Thanks Josh I've been waiting for you to roll something out on the security side! What computer capabilities do we need for this? Such as memory, processor and etc.??
Hey! Thanks for waiting, I know it took a while haha. The WHOLE lab portion of this is done in Azure, so all you need is a really basic laptop with the ability to run a RDP/Remote Desktop app so you can remote into Windows VMs in Azure :)
Quick question, Im currently taking the WGU of Bachelors Cyber Security because of your reccomendation. I wanted to ask if it was ok to still to take your course, at the sametime.
Hi Josh, I been following your channel since 2021 and I am interested in your Cyber security course. I like to know if the Couse has live /recorded lectures or its just plain text instructions only. Also, for Labs and MOC interviews if there is any live support in this course. Thank you.
Hey Shafial, i'm glad you think so! I'm going to make it available in the IT course as well, just gotta find a bit of time to patch it and stuff, maybe in may :)
Hello guys. I've been watching this channel and many others for over a year. I've been studying some typing programs and I've been considering taking the CompTIA A + so I can be more familiar with computers before I get into a field of study and start spending money. I am really interested in this program, however, I have no IT experience. Will this hinder me from learning this material? I'm ready to sign up like... yesterday. (LOL) I think this program is my ticket. PCI DSS is the framework I'm interested in most.

How are you doing Josh? Can I take this course with no degree also with no IT background? If yes, can I take the course before taking the Security+?
Also , can I still get into Cybersecurity in my 50's?
Between this course and your program on Course Careers, which would you recommend?
How long is course ? I couldn't find that answer

CySA+ and AZ-500 compliment this course really well, but it kinda depends how much experience you have already. If you are sitting around in a real-deal SOC doing IR all day, you might not get as much out of it as someone who is doing help desk, but it's hard to tell. Sorry for the non-answer :(
@@JoshMadakor No no need to apologize. This answer helps a ton! I’ll look into the AZ-500 and CySA+. And maybe I’ll still take your course because I love your teaching style and delivery of complex concepts. Thankfully my company gives me a very generous yearly professional development stipend so it wouldn’t be out of pocket. I appreciate you and your content. I’ll definitely tell friends and coworkers about this course. Keep posting good eats on your IG 😂😂✌🏾

Glad you liked it!! Thanks so much!
Good stuff josh. we really appreciate your effort. i'm waiting for the Devops course lol
Hahaha Devops, I will release something like this in the future though
Paid for the cybersecurity course but don't have access. Not sure why the lessons aren't showing up on my dashboard. Would love to start going through the course ASAP since it's the weekend. Thanks.
Sorry about that, we had some kind of problem with the platform this morning, but it should be working now ^^
Great stuff as always Josh!
Thank you! Good to see you in the comments :)
@Josh Madakor - Tech, Education, Career josh have you ever thought about partnering with a recruiter to help your students find a job after your course?
I’m currently debating whether to take this course or the course careers course. I see that you an instructor there. What is the main difference? Thank you!
Hello!
The idea is that Cyber is not really entry-level, so I recommend having some baseline cyber knowledge--it doesn't have to be W2/job experience, but some kind of experience will be best. (For example, having gone through Google's cybersecurity program would be good.) There are no hard requirements for joining the course though. I have implemented a few things to help with the lack of experience, such as the internship component I mentioned in this video as well as the Sec+ Anki Deck. If you are brand-brand new, the IT course is a good bet and will get you acclimated to computing and Azure/Cloud: joshmadakor.tech/it
If you feel comfy and you are fine with the Cyber learning curve, I would check out the explanation video on the landing page if you haven’t already: joshmadakor.tech/cyber
Hope this helps!
I will save up to join your course
I'm about to finish my Master Degree in Cybersecurity and Privacy next Debruary, but I'm tired to getting rejected from all positions I apply because I do not have 1,2 or 3 years EXP even for ENTRY LEVEL positions. I even got rejected from an INTERSHIP JOB because the "end client" was looking for someone with exp ...
So my HANDS ON EXP are so far my projects I was doing while studying the Master Degree and some Home Labs I create with videos like yours.
I'm so excited about this!
Thank you :)
I am very interested in the course. I am an entry-level in cybersecurity. I have difficulties finding a job due to a lack of experience.
Very interesting video!
Hi Josh. Can you offer a tier with the lab only? I don’t need the job hunting section and am a few months away from my BS. The lab would be valuable.
Sorry we don't have this :(. I actually thought about doing that, but it won't be any time soon, so sorry :(
I think I was the first one to enroll in the course :-)
Lmao, you might have been. I remember seeing your name a bunch of times somewhere haha
Hi Josh - will you be doing success story interviews of student who’ve finished your cybersecurity class like the ones who finishes your IT class?
Should I take this course if I have absolutely NO experience in IT or Cybersecurity??
You could, but the learning curve will be steep! I do have an entry-level IT course: joshmadakor.tech/it
Wish there was a payment plan option but ima just save for it starting now
Hey Trevor! There will be that option in may, but the bad thing is, the course also becomes 997 in May. It's half off for the launch!
Josh, first love the content. Secondly I am curious about the prerequisites for your course. I know you don't "technically" need them but I am taking my Network+ today.
Should I do Security + first or go into this course first?
There aren't really any prereqs, but I designed the course for people who have Sec+ in mind who need *something* extra to help them bridge the gap to actually landing a job. However taking the course, THEN studying Sec+ will give you some context into the stuff you are learning in Sec+. You can always do the labs in the course a second time as well, as you get "lifetime" access. Hope this helps!
Can you complete this and understand it if you don't have any experience or knowledge in cybersecurity or IT beforehand?
Hi @Josh, I just bought the course,
I hope you add more labs and practices in the future, along with Azure platform updates.
How's the course, have you found a job?
Hi @JoshMadakor, just a simple question. What kind of learning model is implemented for the course? Is it buy and keep like Udemy or more like a yearly lease like Boson and similar programs. Also, a clarification is it on sale only up till May 1st? I.E., April 30th or May 31st? Thanks in advance for the clarification.
Hey! It's a buy and keep. I will continue to patch the course and add to it over time as well. It should become 1k upon May 1st!
Thé practice course Deck is fire 🔥
This sounds GREAT❗👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you! I did my best :>
Thanks Josh I've been waiting for you to roll something out on the security side! What computer capabilities do we need for this? Such as memory, processor and etc.??
Hey! Thanks for waiting, I know it took a while haha. The WHOLE lab portion of this is done in Azure, so all you need is a really basic laptop with the ability to run a RDP/Remote Desktop app so you can remote into Windows VMs in Azure :)
Just what I need!!!
Quick question, Im currently taking the WGU of Bachelors Cyber Security because of your reccomendation. I wanted to ask if it was ok to still to take your course, at the sametime.
Yeah, it will definitely give you a lot of context and be helpful. And congrats on deciding to hop into the WGU program :)
@@JoshMadakor Was going to ask this same question. I've been waiting for this course!
Hi Josh, I been following your channel since 2021 and I am interested in your Cyber security course. I like to know if the Couse has live /recorded lectures or its just plain text instructions only. Also, for Labs and MOC interviews if there is any live support in this course. Thank you.
I’m so excited
:D Me too, I'm excited to start doing testimonials for it after people get jobs, haha
the azure lab looks awesome!!
I'm happy you think so, heck yeah lol
$1000 is more than reasonable price for the amount of value, I was sold before I even finish watching the video.
Thanks so nice of you haha, thank you so much. I will do my best with this one and pay extra attention to discord, haha
@JoshMadakor so many other youtubers are recommending you. Some call you the WGU king 😆. Teach me the way Sifu.
can someone with know knowledge in cyber security or IT complete this course? or is some knowledge required before coming in?
1:25 this ideas is brilliant and helps quite a bit with practical experience. Is it also applicable to the IT course or just cybersecurity
Hey Shafial, i'm glad you think so! I'm going to make it available in the IT course as well, just gotta find a bit of time to patch it and stuff, maybe in may :)
Hi Josh
I really want to join but I don’t have full payment
I wish we have two time installment
Shut up and take my money, lol. All joking aside this looks awesome, can't wait to get started!
lmao ,thanks, really appreciate it
Is this course self paced?
Yep
Hello guys. I've been watching this channel and many others for over a year. I've been studying some typing programs and I've been considering taking the CompTIA A + so I can be more familiar with computers before I get into a field of study and start spending money. I am really interested in this program, however, I have no IT experience. Will this hinder me from learning this material? I'm ready to sign up like... yesterday. (LOL) I think this program is my ticket. PCI DSS is the framework I'm interested in most.
It's about time Big dog
lmao, thank you
Hi, Are there any access time limits for training videos or lab environment?
Hey, there is no time limit ^^
