User Testimonials
	Infosec Skills	Skillsoft Percipio (Skillport)
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.

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."

Cons	Questions!
