I'm now so confident with my IT skills, programming and web development. Teachers respond quickly to help in any way they can. I ended up using my hour-long consultation time and received really good feedback on my assessments.

In 2020 I decided to pursue a Master of Cybersecurity at La Trobe University. The degree included two full time internships with consulting and cybersecurity firms. I am presently working as a Cybersecurity Analyst with one of the leading banks in Australia. Choosing La Trobe was one of the best decisions in my life.
