“Jeremy was extremely helpful with any questions from any student. Answers were very helpful and easily understood. The lectures were never boring at any time during the week. I will definitely recommend this course and instructor to coworkers. There were students at many different levels of Pen Testing understanding, and Jeremy was able to help everyone. I come from a programming background with no pentesting experience, and was able to pass the CEH and CPT with a 92%. The course moves quickly to cover a ton of information, but goes into an adequate amount of detail. The labs in particular were very helpful for me to learn how to use the material I learned during lectures. Capture the flag was also helpful to get more practice in addition to the labs, and it was also fun.”

Mitch Carlsen

“This was a phenomenal class! The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and crafted the exercises so that we truly learned the material. I have a whole new appreciation for how vulnerabilities are exploited. I have gained very practical skills and knowledge in this class which will help me tremendously in my job. I will highly recommend this course to all of my co-workers. This class should be a must for any true security professional. There were several moments during the week when I was amazed at how vulnerable systems truly are. The practical labs and competition teams made the experience fun. I have learned some extremely valuable skills.”

“Course provided both real-world answers, and information needed to prepare for the test. Knowing that the certification tests don't encompass the entire job or skill set, the real-world knowledge should help prepare students for the job market as well.”

Justin Wray Senior Security Architect Jacob and Sundstrom, Inc.

“I was very very pleased with the course and LABS. The labs were awesome and very interactive and the instructor did a great job explaining any question I had. All my knowledge of Cisco routers, switches, firewalls, trojans, A+, NET+, MCSA and things I have toyed with at home all came into play in this class. I was very very very pleased with the instructor’s knowledge. I have been to other training centers such as and by far Infosec Institute, the penetration testing class taught by Keatron Evans was by far the best compared to others. I was very impressed with the instructor’s knowledge and expertise. I will schedule another class in the future and choose Infosec.”

Chris Benjamin Senior Technical Analyst

FOJP

“I was blown away by the instructor’s knowledge and expertise. I came here knowing very little about pen testing and white hack hacking...and have been subjected to an amazing amount of information that was easy to understand and delivered in such a way that I could get it. I mean, I could grasp the concepts, if I had a question he always had the answer, and I have been very pleased with this class. Thank you. Would recommend to anyone thinking about being a pen tester.”

The course books are a great reference, and it was nice to have a dedicated training laptop provided by Infosec and not have to bring my own and waste time installing programs during class”

Virgil Sabas SAIC

“I feel extremely fortunate and humbled to have been taught by such an expert instructor! I liked the expert knowledge of the instructor, and his ability to clearly demonstrate it. It was great to be close to the strip in Las Vegas but yet still in a quiet hotel where I could concentrate on the training at hand.”

The content and knowledge gained will be invaluable in my career.”

Rummy Dabgotra MTS Allstream

“I commend InfoSec Institute on the out-of-the-box thinking that goes into creating a training program to teach something that is so misunderstood. Keatron's knowledge of the information was exceptional. He presented the topics in a way that was accessible to even the most laymen of user. There was an incredible amount of information, but Keatron maintained focus and we were able to absorb a great deal of it through labs and exercises. The most rewarding of the exercises were the CTFs, pitting one side of the class against the other. I would definitely take another course with Keatron.”

William Clark Diplomatic Security Training Center

“Great course! I liked some more focus on web exploits, only because it is an interest of mine. Very good presenter of the material with real-world experience to back what the lectures were about. I liked the hands on and real world application of the content. Other classes I have been through from other Security Institutes focused more on lecture and the labs didn't reinforce the content as well. This class was by far MUCH better.”

Michael Hennick

Raytheon Solipsys

“Dan was a very knowledgeable instructor and I would definitely take another course with infosec institute. The course was a very good way for me to dive into this subject material. With just the basic subject knowledge I was able to follow the material and gain more insite into the security world. I learned the


most in the Labs. Real world systems with real world problems. Very good class...”

He was able to completely and succinctly answer all questions and was obviously well-versed in the field. I would definitely consider enrolling in another course that he teaches. The labs and the study guide were extremely helpful. The course was extremely informative. I walk away from it with a much better


understanding of the all things InfoSec because of the intensity and presentation of the course. I will certainly consider the advanced course from InfoSec Institute next year (especially if Jeremy is the instructor). To summarize, the Instructor, materials, labs, and CTFs were excellent.”

Dan Kottmann

“I was very impressed with the knowledge that Mr.Evans had. He also did a great job of presenting the information so that all skill levels could understand. Also really liked the approach on the team labs. I feel that I have a good understanding of not only CEH principals, but also a ground level understanding of the practical use of the tools. I personally liked the hands on approach that was presented. The individual and team labs were great. I think this class is really good, I can't think of anything to make it better.”

“The instructor Jeremy was very clear on instructional techniques and was extremely knowledgeable. Jeremy is extremely patient and is a fine representative for the security profession. He related real experiences to the content that were very beneficial to understanding the concepts. All of the labs worked which is rare for some of the classes taught by other companies that i have attended. I enjoyed the exposure to many new techniques, tools and experiences.”

Patrick Kelly Unemployed IT Professional

“Keatron has very vast and deep knowledge of course material. In addition to his outstanding knowledge, his teaching skills are excellent. Keatron managed to convey potentially dry technical information to the students, in an interesting and fun way. I wish all my classes were taught this way. My favorite part of the course was the labs. Actually using the tools and being able to see their effects on the Virtual machines really solidified the concepts taught in the lecture slides. Plus the labs were actually really fun.”
