    Although I enjoyed this course and thought the content was useful and well presented, I had hoped to use the time towards CPE credits for my CISSP cert. At the beginning of the course it was stated that a certificate of completion would be given, but then UW decided to not provide certificates to participants.

    Be aware that the courses provided by UW for InfoSec will not come with a completion certificate.

    Nothing to prove that you invested your valuable time in a worthwhile effort.
