University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies

I took the foundations and accelerated courses over 1.5 years while working in an ad agency in downtown Toronto. The courses really helped me up my game as I managed work for a cross-functional team. The experience gave me the knowledge and tools to implement new practices and help everyone get on the same page. We are now more efficient and accountable to clients as a result. I didn't need the PDUs, so people preparing to write exams or maintain certification might want to look at more options than just UofTSCS, but for me it was exactly what I needed.

This is a very introduvtory level course. Nothing is covered in depth. 90% of interview tedt question topics arent even touched or mentioned in the course. Would not recommend.

I started this program with no IT background and desperate for a career change! Six months after graduating I secured work on a 5-person IT team at headquarters for a commercial real estate company. My learning continues eveeryday on the job! The best part of my learning experience at UoftSCS was having access to great instructors and the Learner Success Manager, who helped me find my way through the job market. The program was good and covered 8 major Cybersecurity domains, including Incident response and Governance regulation compliance which I actually use on the job. I wish there had been more about cloud computing but I think that's coming for future students. I also know waaaay more now about the industry and what job prospects are like today.
