What our students and clients say

Antony Kendall

I signed up to two of Fortify Institute's ISO 27001 courses and was successfully supported through to passing both exam's with much help from Jan and her blended learning package. She provided useful exam tips, additional resources, and a group opportunity to ask questions, in addition to always being available by email. The courses were also the best price I could find. All in all I would definitely recommend Fortify Institute. 

Dr. Prinn Sukriket

 
I had an excellent experience studying ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer with Fortify Institute.
 
What truly sets Jan apart is the level of personal support. The explanation was exceptionally clear, practical, and reassuring. This is something I have not experienced with other training providers.
 
Jan is not only an outstanding instructor but also incredibly kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in student success. The teaching quality and level of care are truly world-class. I highly recommend Fortify Institute to anyone pursuing PECB certifications.

Joanne Flynn

Achieving my ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor certification was a pivotal milestone in my career transition, and I couldn't have asked for a bettor mentor than Jan Carroll and the team at Fortify Institute. Her guidance was instrumental in not just passing the exam, but truly understanding the 'why' behind the information security management. I highly recommend Fortify Institute to any professional looking to gain serious, industry recognised credentials.

Pádraigh Griffen

As a C-level executive and an alumnus of the Fortify Institute, I have found it to be an exceptional educational and training institution. My experience there provided me with priceless academic and personal growth, and I would consider it highly favorable to continue my academic journey at the institute. I wholeheartedly encourage others to do the same.

5 star review for Jan. I attended a course in Cyber Security given by Jan through the UCD professional academy. Jan is an excellent lecturer and always on hand for assistance to her students. She makes learning interesting and different. She is a very experienced and knowledgeable teacher. I would highly recommend any course with her!
