Testimonials

“I've recently completed the Diploma in Cyber Security. The course was well structured and full of fun assignments that gave me strong foundations and boosted my confidence in cyber security. What made the whole experience exceptional was my trainer Daniel Armstrong, who supported me through the process with clear guidance and patience, and continuous encouragement every step of the way.” - Ildiko P.

“I recently completed a Cert III in Information Technology Elective Focus Basic Cyber Security Awareness. Craig was my trainer who really assisted me in whatever I needed help with. He is always keen to have a chat about anything and makes me feel at ease. The course was great, as it allows you to have a work life balance as it is self-paced, which made me feel comfortable. The amount of content was perfect for me to write down notes and always look back to if needed. All the best!” - Jai V.

“My experience with Lumify as a learning provider has been incredibly supportive and great value! I enrolled with Lumify 12 months ago to potentially change my career into the field of Cybersecurity. Coming from a completely non-technical background and a full-time carer, I really didn't know whether I'd have the skills to learn enough about Cybersecurity to actually enter the industry. But looking back now, having completed the course, I realise how well designed it really was and how Lumify laid what I needed out in front of me, in the right order, with no prior knowledge required. Not only that, I was able to complete the online study in the estimated time frame that was given by Lumify at my original enrollment meeting.

Without Lumify I would have been directionless and had no idea how to find the study tools and content to create a road-map to achieve my goals in such a short period of time. Their learning platform was easy to navigate and gave me all the study content required to pass all of my exams on the first attempt! I would like to give a special mention to Sanjay Verma for his regular live classes and being a mentor to myself and my other study mates through their journey. He created a class environment that was fun, engaging, supportive and because of this I have already met some new comrades along the way.

I have now begun my career in Cybersecurity and am continuing to develop my professional skills through my new employer, CyberZone Global (a PCI QSA & CREST PenTest Company).

I still have a lot to learn, but through this study I have been provided the right platform as a springboard on which to launch my cyber career. The future is looking bright, thank you Lumify!” - Layla S.

“I just completed my cert 3 in IT cyber security and I would recommend this course to anyone looking to get a start in the field. My trainer Craig Rossow was excellent, we had weekly calls to discuss the assessments and it was extremely beneficial to keeping me on track and focused.” - Cooper O.
