User Testimonials
	Infosec Skills	PlanetSpark
Likelihood to Recommend	The onboarding process has been quite productive throughout with the best team. The customer support team is able and ever on alert when requested to assist. It has simple user interface which is not the case with other similar platforms. The training modules are easy to understand and put into practice. It meets the set threshold and complies with company principals. Incentivized Susan Davone Administrative Clerk Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	A combination of presentation, explanation, and reading materials to suit all learning types. An easy-to-use portal that tracks progress and allows you to go back and review. A focus on both the certification itself as well as the background information. In contrast to just "practice tests." Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Questions! The Database/site was updated, and I was no longer able to access the questions and choose specific topics to study from There were two CISSP courses to watch videos, I would remove the oldest Put an emphasis that users have a years membership after completing a boot camp Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	We are very satisfied with the service and the offer. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Because the skills learned from the course have proven to be beneficial in the day-to-day tasks that I typically perform. They are either directly related to or at the very least a complementary skill set that allows me to perform my duties overall in a more beneficial way to the people that I support.

Alternatives Considered	I use a variety of sources for training, some because they're available at low cost through my employer, others because they offer courses in a specific niche.

Return on Investment	After my courses, I was able to obtain my CCNA (passed [on] first attempt) and my CCNP (passed [on] second attempt). This is far better than the average passing rate. Professionally, I [got] a new job as a network engineer and then promoted to a Network Engineer II after completing my CCNP. I have seen a 40% salary increase over the last three years.
