Our NCSP® Graduates share their Experience

“I was well prepared and passed the DVMS Institute NCSP Boot Camp exam on the first try. The NCSP courses helped me understand how to leverage the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to help organizations Create, protect and Deliver digital business value. The instructor, Patrick von Schlag did a great job in presenting the materials and connecting it back to real-world examples. Thank you, Lori and Rick, for all help! I will highly recommend the NCSP courses to my colleagues across the globe”

Nag H. KosuruCybersecurity Consultant

"From the beginning of the online NSCP Bootcamp course, right through to the processing of my certificate, the itSM Solutions experience was trouble-free. The training was well-organised, the content structure ensured it was easy to follow and due to the added flexibility of being online, I was able to complete the course in my own time. With easy-listening videos, course handouts that provide extra content, and quizzes designed to help solidify knowledge, the NSCP Bootcamp was a great learning experience and one that I have, and would recommend to my colleagues!

“Sitting the NCSP® online courses and taking the exams has allowed us to re-model our business to not only offer better cyber security solutions, but more importantly improve our communication with clients and assist them in implementing a proper cybersecurity framework based on the NIST-CSF.”

JBCybersecurity Consultant

“I will like to appreciate the team at cybersecurity-professionals.com who have put this course together it is a great course, it was very really well structured, highly informative and the course materials were excellent. I would highly recommend the NCSP® programme to all those in or looking to start a career in cyber.”

ANDirector, Information Technology

“After recently completing the online NIST Cyber Security Professional (NCSP®) Foundation Certificate and being welcomed into the online mentoring community, I would like to provide the fantastic feedback that this course deserves. The program was carefully designed and allowed me to progress at a speed that suited me as it was self-paced, this suited myself as a learner, allowing me to plan my study around work and family commitments. I found that all Chapters where well-presented and easy to understand and provided a solid foundation for understanding Cyber Risk, the NIST Cyber Security Framework alongside the core functions and Implementation Tiers. I now have a firm grasp of what I learnt and look forward to sitting the exam and progressing onto the next qualification as a NCSP® Practitioner. I have certainly benefited from completing this programme. When you have tangible end results after taking a course, I can conclude this was a great one!”

ANSenior, Cyber Security Analyst

“Having recently completed the NIST Cyber Security Professional (NCSP®) Foundation course, I found it informative, well-structured and easy to follow. The course has given me a great understanding of how the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) can be applied and how its core elements work. The course set me really well for the APMG exam and I achieved the required score without any real issues or gaps in my knowledge and I put this down to the online learning that was supported with comprehensive study documents and lessons plans. I would highly recommend both the course and the learning provider who gave me support throughout, answering many questions on my next steps. I’m now looking to complete the NCSP® Practitioners Course in the coming weeks!”

JOProject Manager (Financial Sector)

"Having been keen to break into the Cyber Security industry as a change of career direction, my research led me to the NIST Cyber Security Professional (NCSP) Programme. The Foundation course is a great entry level introduction to this framework and has already landed me my first contract. As a service leaver looking to secure my civilian future in cyber, this course was exactly what I was looking for. A great introduction to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and I am already planning to book the Practitioner level course."

ABIT Business Analyst (Financial Sector), UK

"I've been doing a lot of security transformation work across the UK public sector and used the NIST Cybersecurity frameworks (NIST-CSF) as a reference to validate levels of capability and provide clear roadmaps for improvement. I found the on-line videos and PDF workbooks to be an excellent way to build my knowledge and interpretation of the NIST-CSF and how it can be practically applied. The balance of information about security controls and risks, alongside Digital Transformation and agile way of working through incremental improvements really resonated with me and my experience in delivering IT services across the UK public sector.”
