    The actual course quality and the instructor are very good. You just need to be an IT security professional to understand and benefit from the lesson. This course isn't for your normal corporate email end user. The description of the course does not make the target audience (IT professionals) clear, and the first chapter is exactly what you would expect for an anti-phishing course. However, the second chapter then jumps into technical details beyond the knowledge of typical users. If you're having trouble tracking down the origin of phishing emails on the IT side, check out this course.
