I have enrolled in scaler data science course recently. And after completing a couple of months studies with them here are the Pros and Cons for me:
Pros:
- Very structured course and relevant topics. Along with really good assignments after each class.
- Instructors are really good. Until now I have only interacted with Mohit Uniyal, and I think he is really good. He is very thorough and amazingly patient while answering doubts.
- Teaching Assistance support is another great resource. You can reach out to them anytime via chat or video call. So that’s very handy.
- The dashboard is laid out really well too. The options to view class recordings any time, making bookmarks, discussion, scaler support access. Very neat!
- I have heard they have good placement and career support as well. I haven’t availed or experience this yet first hand since I am only 2 months in the course now.
Cons:
- Quite expensive course for sure, but given the quality and other equally and more expensive courses in the market such as upgrad, I am not surprised.
- Features like mentors are not very helpful, as even many mentors are still figuring out their career.
- A lot of spam from scaler. OMG! like you name it, Email, Whatsapp, Slack, so much spam from scaler and other learners.
- Lack of quality network building. Eventhough scaler has the above platforms where learners can connect, it still fails to help learners network. I know it is a hard thing, but I hope scaler can come with something where learners can benefit from each other.

SANS provides a wide range of cybersecurity courses and certifications, which can be taken either online or in-person. The courses cover various cybersecurity domains such as penetration testing, incident response, digital forensics, and secure coding. SANS is highly respected for its practical and hands-on training approach, which is led by experienced and knowledgeable instructors. Their certifications, such as GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH) and GIAC Certified Penetration Tester (GPEN), are widely recognized within the industry.
I have taken several SANS courses and found them to be extremely valuable. The instructors are knowledgeable and the materials provided are directly applicable to my work in security. However, it’s important to keep in mind that you need to renew your certification periodically. It’s not like getting a degree from a university that lasts a lifetime, which means you have to keep paying to keep your certifications valid.
