Advance Your IT Career with Our Expert Training

During your time as my professor for CySA+ and SEC+, I enjoyed your teaching style. First and foremost, your focus was on your students. If we had to do something or needed your help, you would prioritize that over your own needs. I appreciate that.
During the course of the curriculum, I did not have trouble following because you taught the class in an engaging manner. This helped me personally because I have a hard time paying attention while looking at a screen, and sitting down. I think the way you made the class team-oriented helped us visualize how we could operate in a real-world environment within the technological industry. Aside from just reading off the material, you would expound and expand on certain topics giving us more than just what was required. This proves your passion for this job field, and your genuineness towards the up and coming men and women who need someone to teach and give a good impression to this career field.
Thank you for your time. I hope to have as many certifications as you one day.

I very much enjoyed the course. It was one of the best online educational experiences I have had. Other experiences were just readings, videos, and practical applications. This class offered all of that but went one more with discussing issues in the real-world, real-world feedback from cyber security pros and made it exciting to advance my career.
I'm not going to lie at first I was a little nervous and skeptical about having my camera on but that forced me to engage more and want to work as a team. Working as a team especially as a SOC team was fun. It was great knowing and seeing everyone on the SOC team and made my experience personal. I didn't just read and did practical applications I was involved and worked alongside with my teammates.
The only bad thing about the class is that it was too short. I felt like I bonded with the class to the point where I will want to continue talking with them in the future long after the class is over.
The course definitely improved my knowledge of the subject. While taking the final exam there were definitions and topics that stuck with me to the point where I was confident about my answers. And as a team, we completed the exam with a 100%. Everything we did in the class was amazing.

As a previous student of Don Tilley, I am able to state that his teaching methods are exceptional. In an environment where learning is often a metric of simple memorization, Don challenges that through engaging mentorship. He leans forward into checking for understanding, student-led work, implementation of different methods for teaching outcomes, and discussions of his personal lengthy experience along with student input. This provides a profound experience that helps retain subject matter, participation at every level, and external and internal encouragement to succeed. Don is extremely passionate in his field of study which translates to a high energy and caring nature as an instructor. Throughout his led courses I felt I was being guided by a knowledgeable mentor, technically and proficiently capable while challenging his students to not just do the work but know it. I was personally selected and hired by Don to do hands on contracted work in the field of study I was being taught by him. To me, that is a high level of trusting your teaching methods by placing your students in professional opportunities with the education you're providing. I never felt overwhelmed or incapable and learned on what I had been taught to succeed. He trusted me and another student to do the job under little supervision, allowing us to come up with solutions while providing the experienced wisdom as needed for success. In any capacity, if provided I would support Don Tilley's ability, passion, and experience when leading students, and believe he is highly suitable for any professional opportunity.

I had the privilege of being a student in Don Tilley's class, and I must say that his teaching style is truly exceptional. Throughout the semester, Mr. Tilley demonstrated an unwavering dedication to his student's success. He is incredibly attentive, always taking the time to address our questions and concerns with patience and clarity. What truly set him apart, however, was his ability to engage the entire class actively. He encouraged class discussions, welcomed diverse perspectives, and fostered an environment where everyone felt comfortable participating. This enhanced our understanding of the subject matter.
Thanks to Mr. Tilley's methods, I can confidently say that I have a solid grasp of the material covered in his class. His passion for the subject matter was infectious, and it left a lasting impression on me. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to have been his student, and I believe that his teaching has equipped me with the knowledge and confidence to excel in my academic and professional endeavors. Mr. Tilley is a true gem in the world of education, and I can't thank him enough for the valuable lessons and insights he imparts to us.

Where do I begin? Don rocks! My experience with Don as a professor and mentor has been nothing short of a blessing. His stellar accomplishments inspired me to want more in the IT field and dream big. Don made me feel like I could really achieve my dreams, but still kept me grounded enough to understand that it takes focus and commitment.
I appreciate him for his:
