    Hello , i am just wondering if anyone can tell me about the Cyber Security & Digital Forensics course. Is there a lot of penetration testing ? Could a graduate work as an ethical hacker ? Do you reccommend this course for other people ? Is it a hard course ? Would you get a job straight after the course even though there is no work placement on this course ?

    Challenging but very good
    very practical which I think is the right approach

    Python is a nice starter language, ease you into it and is quite fun to mess with.

    I take it you will probably be looking at:

    HTML
    CSS
    SQL
    Visual Basics
    C++/Java
    Machine Language
