Transformative experience

CAPSLOCK boot camp course was a transformative experience. The rigorous and comprehensive course covered all essential aspects of cybersecurity, with expert tutors providing real-world insights. The hands-on, interactive environment allowed me to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios, enhancing my skills and understanding. CAPSLOCK's emphasis on collaboration and teamwork prepared me well for industry challenges. The support from mentors and fellow participants was invaluable, keeping me motivated and focused.
I highly recommend CAPSLOCK for anyone looking to transition into cybersecurity or advance their skills in this field.

It was an exciting and comprehensive…

It was an exciting and comprehensive 16weeks bootcamp. Alot was unravelled within this period propelling into the cyber space. It was a team based learning with Irats and trats to help us prepare for the day's learning and to text our knowledge. Here, you don't have a choice but to get serious in a friendly environment and learn. Above all, the tutors were friendly and highly respectful. They take time to carry everyone along by ensuring understanding of the subject. I have already recommended CAPSLOCK for my friend.

As far as career leading bootcamps go this is the one!

There is a myriad of things that make the course very good but I'd certainly put the fact that students can gain the knowledge to start a junior career in several very distinct areas of Cybersecurity as number one. This means that the course is pretty much for anyone!

On top of that the ethos of the company, the instructors and the owners is as inclusive as you can get no matter who you are.

I couldn't have learned as much anywhere else

From the first interaction to the final minutes of the course, I loved every minute of it. The best part of the programme is the simulated workspace. I gained valuable experience in real-life scenarios and practised creating and presenting documents to various audiences, from the staff to the board and clients. Working in small groups meant I had a teamwork experience, honing my interpersonal and leadership skills. I am now applying for jobs with more confidence and a better understanding of the industry. Career support is very professional. My CV has never been so informative and well presented. The tutors and support team are experienced professionals and wonderful people too. I can’t recommend the course enough.

Exactly what I wanted to learn about Cybersecurity

I just completed a 16-week Cybersecurity retraining programme with Capslock, and I am beyond thrilled with the experience! From the very start, the programme was designed to foster teamwork, with hands-on projects and real-world simulations that pushed us to collaborate closely. This not only boosted our technical skills but also our ability to work effectively under pressure.

The tutors were super knowledgeable and supportive, creating an atmosphere of open communication and mutual assistance. We were constantly engaged in team-based assignments, simulating real-world challenges and building a strong sense of camaraderie.

The curriculum was absolutely top-notch, covering everything from basic principles to advanced PEN testing. The practical, team-focused learning and invaluable industry insights from tutors, mentors and Capslock's Careers Team prepared us exceptionally well for real-world cybersecurity roles.

I am incredibly grateful for this intense, challenging, and immensely rewarding experience. I can't recommend Capslock's Cybersecurity retraining programme enough for its emphasis on teamwork, practical learning, and professional growth. Thank you, Capslock, for an unforgettable and transformative journey :-)

Excellent for anyone getting into CyberSecurity.

The comprehensive course gives you an overall understanding of cyber security concepts. It is a great way to start you Career in cyber. The Coaching and Careers team give you lots of support with CV writing, interview tips and general wellbeing. For someone with no background knowledge in IT in general, I found some concepts challenging, but was provided with support during such moments. Thank you CAPSLOCK

Disappointed, after waiting for 3 months, got rejected at the last moment

Applied for the course on 7th of March for 3rd of June Cohort. Followed the instructions and pre course provided by CAPSLOCK. Made all the arrangements including booking holiday as I am working at the moment but got rejection on 6th of June. I have wasted 3 months. I emailed several times to get the outcome of my application as I needed to plan, but they kept me holding and disappointed at the last moment. I understand you get a high volume of applications, but you must value our time as well. I relied on you and didn't apply anywhere else. How fair is it with us as an applicant?
Thank you, and I wish you the best of luck. "CAPSLOCK ".

Thank you for leaving your feedback - it's valuable for us as a small business to continually improve.
Whilst we appreciate your frustration with the situation, we do try to make it clear to all our applicants that places are limited on the course and that we cannot guarantee enrolment to everyone. This is especially true for those who apply for government Skills Bootcamps funding as we only have a select number of places we can offer due to external restrictions.
Our latest cohort was our most oversubscribed to date and we are restricted by the number of funded places we are able to offer. Due to the volume of applications we received, it took us longer than expected to feed back to applicants. We are reviewing our processes to make sure we can communicate with applicants better in the future and give them more notice on a decision.
However, we have invited all of those who were not selected to join us in June to defer their application to September. Unfortunately, we still cannot guarantee places due to limited funding but are happy to prioritise those who were previously unsuccessful. This opportunity is still available to you - should you wish to still enrol on the course then please contact our admissions team directly.

Intensive programme with access to lots of resources and opportunities

A very intensive programme with access to lots of resources and opportunities. To get the best out of it be prepare to work hard and in a team environment. The wrap around career services and post course alumni are a great addition to the coursework. If you are serious about retraining in cyber security, CAPSLOCK is an excellent choice

BUYER BEWARE - Applied in February, rejected with just over a week before course start

Applied for their Bootcamp months ago. Start dates got changed several times and then just over a week to go before course starts they tell me I didn’t make it because of a high volume of applications. Even though I would have been one of the first people that applied when it got released on government website.

Now I’m left in limbo not knowing what to do with my life.

Thanks Capslock!

A transformative experience

Really changed the whole direction of my life. Has given me the tools to succeed. It is important to keep in mind that you will get out what you put in, so work hard whilst on the course, but I loved it and would definitely recommend.

Fantastic course

Fantastic course, with a really inclusive attitude catering for all comers and levels of experience. Could have had some more 'in depth' teaching on certain subjects but that doesn't detract from the overall content.
You really do get out of what you put into it, so work hard, play hard and go grab a brilliant career!

Plenty of support throughout the course…

Plenty of support throughout the course and after. I learnt a lot about cybersecurity coming from a non-technical background meant that this was very important when choosing a course provider. The tutors are dedicated and passionate about what they do and have a lot of experience in the industry. I enjoyed completing the labs and working in groups to tackle some of the challenges. Gaining certs helped boost confidence and when you felt doubtful about your ability the support was once again always at hand. One other good thing is that you always have options for trying to break into the different areas of cyber as you will cover a wide range of learning objectives.

Life changing experience

I’m so grateful I took the leap and decide to study with capslock. The Bootcamp was interactive, educational and enjoyable. All Capslock employees were so supportive, not only during the Bootcamp but even in my job search. I graduated in September and had accepted a job offer by October! I never expected my life to be changed so dramatically and everyday I’m grateful I enrolled.
