Hello!

Thank you for checking out my little spot on the internet. My name is Hayden and I am a cybersecurity professional who loves to learn.

There is a massive amount of educational resources in the field of cybersecurity. I started reviewing content with the mission to offer non biased reviews to help students make informed decisions on their education.

Scoring

Review Disclaimer

My goal is to provide honest and consistent reviews that can help others decide if an educational resource is right for them. Due to this, reviews are not influenced by discounts given, affiliate marketing, or if product is given for free. However, it is admitted that these benefits influence if a resource will be reviewed and that I only engage in partnerships with companies who provide quality products. If you decide a resource is right for you, it is very appreciated to use any noted affiliate links as this will help me produce more content to further help students make informed decisions on their education.

Scoring Guide

A score is on a 0-20 point scale with the following categories:

Quality (0-5 Points)
This considers how well the content is produced. Examples of this are good sound quality, being free of spelling errors, and being free of technical issues. This category considers the overall presentation of the material.

Education (0-5 Points)
This category scores how well the subject is delivered to the student. Example considerations include if the content is engaging, detailed, and leaves the student well informed of the subject that is taught.

Value For Price (0-5 Points)
This considers how much value of the provided materials the student receives per the expense paid. For example, if the resource is a book, is the content written in a way were it will become quickly outdated or will it be a useful resource for years?

If it is a certification, how much value does it provide a student in the job market?

Note: If the educational resource is free, this is an automatic score of 5 and will solely be judged off of value for time.

Value For Time (0-5 Points)
This category considers the educational value that is received for the student’s time investment. Example considerations include if the material is short and impactful or lengthy and dry.

Note: If the educational resource is free but can be used for job seekers, this will also include how valuable the resource is in the job market (such as a free certification).

Verdict

A totaled score is given to help students decide if the reviewed resource fits their education needs.

  • 0-9 “Not worth your time or money”
  • 10-15 “Could be useful for some students, but consider if it is worth your time and/or money”
  • 16-19 “A highly recommended resource that is worth the time and/or monetary investment”
  • 20 “A perfect resource of very high quality that is recommended to anyone who is looking to learn it’s subject”
