ECTS allows credits taken at one higher education institution to be counted towards a qualification studied for at another. ECTS credits represent learning based on defined learning outcomes and their associated workload. It is a central tool in the Bologna Process, which aims to make national education systems more comparable internationally.

ECTS has been adopted by most of the countries in the European Union Higher Education Area as the national credit system and is increasingly used elsewhere.

What They Say

I love that there were a lot of exercises and videos. If it just text, especially long paragraphs, it can get a bit tedious sometimes, but i felt like there was a perfect balance between different types of learning material. Additionally, I understand the exercise of writing a phishing letter, but stillI felt very bad about it, and felt it unethical to have to write sucha letter, even if it was intended to myself.

I am VERY pleased Microsoft offered this. Looking forward to many others to come. I am glad I found this path.

I am ICT-engineer and working with data/sensitive data in my work and I found this course to be great addition to what i already knew. Keep up the good work and i look forward for more courses like this!

I started the course in the spring, and I noticed that my stamina was not enough to internalize the content because the spring was sucha busy time with other studies. However, during the summer, I approached the course with new energy. Even though I had to go over the first sections I had already done, I feel that I gained a new enthusiasm for the topic. Cyber security greatly interests me as a subject, and as the course has progressed, I’ve noticed my interest in the topic only growing. In addition, I have improved in the English language, and have read the course materials aloud several times.

I knew some of the terminologies long ago, but I did not quite understand them. With this course, I get to know them better.

Great course, it really helped me understand the functions of the Azure ecosystem and made me want to learn more about it. I had no idea it was so vast and all-encompassing!

Very tight and clear sections. Easy to study and learn. Exams were helpful to summarize what had just been taught and learnt.

It organizes all the introductions with exercises with videos very well. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the clear course, appropriately extensive tasks, and a well-functioning platform.

A well-executed learning platform plays a big role as a motivator and this program nails it.

Just amazing, the UI is clean. Texts are short enough and well written.

It was a full-on knowledge experience.
