Instructor provides a detailed presentation (and explanation) of the structure of SOC 1, 2 & 3 reports and frameworks utilized. It's an excellent refresher and training tool for individuals assessing third party reports.

Great overall course. Good understanding of the various topics associated with an SSAE18 audit/report. Which there were more examples of the testing behind the audits, or examples of the audit but good course.
