I'm just writing to say thanks for the help you've given me; I just landed a role at Bet365 as information security officer, given it was my first interview since the course had finished. I just want to say that the learning materials, your support, and post services have really been instrumental in me landing this role. From assigned live projects, access to alumni platform, to one-to-one job application support and interview preparation, your support has really been 1st class.

It’s my pleasure to inform that I recently secured a role as a DLP Business Analyst role with one of the biggest retail business in the country. I had worked as a business analyst in my previous roles but have never worked on any cyber security program. I joined SmartLearning through a friend (Betty Hammond) and I can say it’s one of the best decisions I have made this year in terms of my career progression. Prior to the interview I had to go through the slides and the videos and also spoke to W...

I want to first thank God and the team at Smartlearning. God has just blessed me with a contract infosec BA role. The interview was a chat as the interviewer loved my knowledge of security controls and access management. All which I learned from Wale during my GDPR training. Wale always says no knowledge is wasted and he is very correct. I will be honest and say that whenever Wale digressed into core infosec during his trainings I used to feel it was not what I signed up for but boy was I so w...

I am so excited to tell you i have secured my 1st contract BA role. I started a new BA role last week and now this contract. I bless God. Thanks for your immense support and for having me on your platform. I really appreciate that. It's a digital transformation role, however, GDPR gave me an edge as i was asked about my GDPR experience which i narrated and one of the interviewers said he quite like my breadth of knowledge. Many thanks to Harry, John and all your crew on Smart Learning. You all...

I Joined smart learning at the beginning of August. Went through a detailed work based training with Wale. As soon as the training ended, I started looking for a new role in GDPR. I was fortunate to get an interview with an investment bank and I contacted Wale for more assistance on certain areas I needed clarity on. Wale was very supportive and invited me to attend an interview session with the guru's i.e. John, Harry and Wale. They were really helpful and gave me loads of tips. I attended ...

I joined the group mid 2017. At the time I was in an employment situation that was unfulfilling in many ways, but after a referral from a friend I decided to take a leap of faith and see what SmartLearning could offer me in terms of a career change. I then attended the GDPR training webinars and took part in some of the practical project work and during this, I decided to leave my job and dedicate myself full time to learning as much as possible in cyber security. Having come from a non-IT backg...

Just to let you know, I was offered a role yesterday as GDPR PM to implement for a Government services organisation. Your material was key to success.

Our God has done it. He secured a GDPR PM role for me with a fourth generation multi-billion retail company on Friday the 16th March 2018. I was interviewed for the role on Friday 16th, and was called by the agent 15mins after the interview that they want me to start asap because they do not want to loose me to another company. They were amazed at my performance and presentation because I went there as a consultant not as an interviewee, in fact I went with a flip chart presentation and held on ...

I joined SmartLearning GDPR training around September last year (thanks to Jamel) after trying to switch to IT Security for a while. The training was so good that I have joined at least 2 other training courses since then. During this time, I have seen more than 50 people get jobs on this platform and was looking forward to the day mine would come. Come February this year, I had 4 interviews in 1 week and I was able to secure 2 jobs at the same time after an interview prep by mentors on this pla...

Hi Wale, I just want to drop this good news here. God has done it again. I got a role about 6months ago as a Security analyst, it was meant to be short term till end of October but I got lucky it was ended for another 6months. While have been learning on this role, have been on the lookout for a bigger opportunity. I interviewed for another job within my company last Friday. I remember going back to the gdrive listening to the recorded interview prep hence why I didn't need to call for a prep se...

I want to show my appreciation to the Smartlearning platform!, I secured a new contract as an information security consultant with an insurance company. It was a rushed interview request with last minute support from one of the Trainers to demystify the terms in the job spec and I got the role! The interview went perfect as I was applying the concepts we were taught plus the experiences/scenarios shared during the training to support my answers. Coming from my basic background with no understand...

As an experienced Business Analyst (BA), I needed to up my skills to easily secure a job in another company, because the BA market is well saturated. I was referred to Smartlearning, where I got top-notch videos on IoT visualization training. Today I work in the Data Science/IoT team of a Pharmaceutical company because of the Smartlearning training I took

Fehintola

My sincere appreciation goes to Wale and Tunde for their guidance and encouragement during my training with Smartlearning.It was challenging transiting from nursing to IT. I am glad that I didn't listen to the other side of the argument. Hence, I persisted and finally break through that iron door that seems too strong.Never give up especially if you are aspiring to get into IT from non-IT related field.It is possible!

Peter Akpunon
IT Support Analyst

My deep appreciation goes out to the CEO, and the whole Smartlearning staff. Special shout-out to the super Project Manager.When I joined the course in October, I had no prior working experience with computers and certainly not Cyber Security concepts. But five short months of taking the course, workshops and efforts, I have been offered a role as a SoC Analyst.I want to thank my peers, especially the ones that were in my group for the project tasks and encourage everyone to keep pushing

I lost my job in 2018 and started the GRC training in 2021. I applied for several jobs, after 2 months into the training, but did not pass through the initial interview stages. Eventually, with the help of the SmartLearning team, I made it to one of the final interview stages and got employed, with zero experience and certificates. All I had was Smartlearning.

A year ago, my job hours were impacted by the pandemic, so I started applying. Had some interviews but did not hear back during the lockdown and then it became quiet at some point. I was not discouraged but kept applying and did a lot of applications in December 2020. In January 21, the Heavens opened, and I got several interests from both recruiters and companies applying. Started with 3 initial interviews, then 4 included 2nd stage, and finally 6 (both new & subsequent stages) from the previou...
