Tell us about yourself and the courses that you took

Hello, my name is Jaydeep Gangal. I studied cyber security with Learning People in which I did four CompTIA A-based certifications. I started with A+, followed by Network+, Security+ and finally, CySA+.

 

Why did you first reach out to Learning People?

I came across Learning People online and reached out to them to get some advice regarding transitioning into cyber security and to look into different pathways they offered.

 

What has been your favourite part of your journey? 

The best part of my journey was the structure combined with the flexibility of self-paced study. The pathway was well organised with plenty of video lessons and study materials so I could learn at my own speed and revisit topics whenever I needed to. The home lab tasks were also crucial. They gave me valuable, hands-on experience turning theory into practical skills I could apply in real situations and talk about them confidently in interviews.

 

Has enrolling with Learning People helped develop your career?

I enrolled with Learning People to transition into cyber security, and it was the right decision. Their structured pathway let me build a strong understanding of the fundamentals first, then move into more technical topics with confidence.

Each stage built on the last, so nothing felt rushed or disconnected. It strengthened my foundation and it gave me the confidence to talk through concepts clearly and articulate what I know, which has made a real difference in my career development.

 

What would you say to someone considering enrolling?

If you're thinking about enrolling with Learning People, I would say go for it. Especially if you're aiming to move into IT or cyber security, just like me.

The self-paced learning format is flexible, with plenty of video and study materials to work from. And the home lab tasks give you hands-on experience you can talk about in interviews. It does take discipline to stay consistent, but if you put in the work, it's a great way to build on your skills and your confidence.

 

Has it been worth the investment?

Yes, enrolling with Learning People was worth the investment. The skills and confidence have been turned into real results. Within a year and a half, I completed the transition and landed my first cyber security job. When I weigh what I put in against what I got out, the return has been significant.
