AI Bootcamp, loved it!

I had a really positive experience with this AI bootcamp. The content was well structured, easy to follow, and genuinely useful, not just theory but practical skills I can actually apply. The instructor were supportive and clearly knowledgeable, and the overall environment felt motivating rather than overwhelming.

I’ve come away feeling much more confident working with AI tools, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get started or level up.

Not inclusive

This course is promoted as being designed to empower BME women in cyber security However, whilst completing the course I was disappointed to face discrimination related to my sexuality, disabilities and neurodiversity. I did complete the course but the reasonable adjustments I required were never put in place As ridiculous as this may sound, the owner of the company did not understand the meaning of 'reasonable adjustments'.

Also the course is meant to be open to any woman from a BME background but this is not the case, as 99% of the participants were black and this is coming from a black person!

The only positive part of this course was the trainer, Mat that has done an amazing job.

We’re genuinely pleased to hear your positive comments about the trainer, Mat, and we appreciate you recognising the quality of his teaching and support during the programme.

At the same time, we want to be very clear that Seidea does not tolerate discrimination of any kind. We take concerns relating to inclusion, accessibility, reasonable adjustments, and participant wellbeing extremely seriously and are committed to reviewing them carefully and fairly.

To ensure we can understand the specifics and investigate appropriately, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss this directly. We encourage you to contact us at hello@seidea.org, where concerns can be reviewed confidentially and in line with our safeguarding and governance processes.

The SEIDEA Cloud Bootcamp was an…

The SEIDEA Cloud Bootcamp was an incredibly enriching experience, especially as a Black woman navigating the early stages of my tech career. The program not only provided foundational knowledge in cloud technologies but the real-world project assignment pushed me to conduct in-depth research and apply the skills learned in a practical, meaningful way. This hands-on approach not only reinforced my understanding but also boosted my confidence in problem-solving and independent learning. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone seeking a solid start in tech.

I left the conversation feeling more comfortable and confident that I was on the right path as I received links and research material to help me along my way.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wanted to get into info sec.
