This Cybersecurity Bootcamp is awesome.

This Cybersecurity Bootcamp was a tremendous help to me. Before starting it I had little experience with networking beyond just using a PC in my job. Through the program I learned tons about networking, cyber threats, exploits, and countermeasures. The hands-on projects gave me the experience I need to land a job in Cybersecurity.

This Cybersecurity Bootcamp is the best value for your money!

The Cybersecurity Bootcamp program was definitely top-shelf. I’d rate it at the top 5% of the many I considered. In both breadth of topics covered and depth of information provided it was superior. Additionally the knowledge of the instructor was truly impressive. You could tell that they were an industry professional with a great deal of experience. This is definitely a challenging Bootcamp, but if you’re willing to be disciplined and committed you will acquire the skill set to hit the ground running in a new Cybersecurity job. It’s by far the best value for your money.

Data Science

I'd recommend Data Science to anyone looking for a career transition. The course material is highly comprehensive and covers concepts needed to excel in this field. Harris has been extremely friendly and accommodating. Overall my cohort was is engaging, knowledgeable, and motivated.

Veteran do not waste your benefits on Cyber security,

Veteran, please steer clear of this place do not waste your benefits on the cybersecurity program. The video-on-demand content receives an F for being extremely long with boring lectures and monotone instructors. The 2-hour lectures video content should be segmented, so it is clear to the viewer and not boring. From my experience, the labs receive a C. Testout labs are better for less money and are more comprehensive. Don't be a fool like I did and spend $4500.

Full Stack Developer Bootcamp

Please do your due diligence before attending their bootcamp, I paid over $6000 and spent my entire bootcamp being ignored by the instructor and multiple quickstart employees. It was so bad I had to use youtube and purchase courses on udemy to grow an understanding of how to code. I ran into issues and fell behind by weeks because when I asked for help directly or on the help board no one responded. I would not tell anyone to take this bootcamp, you are better off learning by yourself because that is what they made me do. I paid over $6000 to be ignored and learn very little from their courses. Please, do not use this service, I do not want to see anyone else fall into the same situation I am in.

P.S.
The job guarantee is only if you have a bachelor's degree, but they do not tell you this. They will tell you about the job guarantee program, but will fail to mention needing a bachelors, do not fall for the trap.

Cyber security boot camp

The overall Experience was good. The coursework was amazing and it was designed beautifully and very much easy to understand. The staff at the bootcamp was very friendly and helpful. My Academic Advisor Aly has been the best help throughout the course , his main concern was to make sure that i am going thru smoothly and he made me come a long way. So a big thumbs up for my man Aly.

This is a great learning platform, were you will be surrounded by a group of people that actually care about your educational experience. I had a close working-relationship with my counselor who helped me through the learning process.

I spoke with Harris Junaidi

I spoke with Harris Junaidi. He was my academic counselor and I was very disorganized and he professionally advised me how to manage my time and instruct me how to use the course more effectively. I thought the Data Science course was tough, but he made it much easier.

Cyber security bootcamp

Hello
I just wanted to report that this school is very deceitful and is not worth attending. I am a student who graduated successfully and the job placement is non-existent (which is a school that states 100 % job placement or refund) I am still waiting for a response on my refund but may have to sue them. Again do not waste your time with this school. They are also very non-transparent.

It has been over 14 business days since you received my demand letter and yet I haven’t received my refund. I was one of the top students in the class, applied to 1000’s of jobs myself as evidence of the emails I sent to Aly. Aly is ignoring all emails as well as the CEO. The so called job placement didn’t do anything beneficial due to the high turnover rate and not even getting me one single job
Interview. I will keep everyone posted later this week if they do pay back my tuition. Job guarantee or money back should mean what is says. Again so the right thing or this will be escalated very quickly. At this point I reinforce my idea that this school is playing a deceitful game and do not recommend attending this school. Thank you!

Business Data Analytics is the camp I did. I can’t say enough wonderful things about all the staff. Especially my mentor Dr. Joseph Perez! He even was kind enough and did extra sessions with me so I was well prepared. If there was ever a technical issue the team was very responsive and fixed the problem immediately! I highly recommend this boot camp! Five stars!

The Cybersecurity Bootcamp is excellent.

The Cybersecurity Bootcamp program has been amazing. I have learned so much in the labs and courses. I knew very little about networking and cybersecurity before I started the program. Now I am confident in my abilities to be a productive member of a cybersecurity team and find a good job. Thanks to my mentors and all the staff that supported me through my journey.

Overall positive experience with this bootcamp

My name is Julian Ramirez and I am from West Palm Beach, FL. I had worked in Hospitality and Hospitality Management for approximately five years right up until the Covid-19 pandemic. When I was laid off for a few months I decided to follow a different career path as I had noticed that my father, a systems engineer, was experiencing nothing but job security amidst all of this chaos. This full stack web development bootcamp caught my eye as a potential entry point into the software development field as I had absolutely no prior experience. The staff, particularly my academic advisor Moses, was nothing but helpful and responsive during the enrollment process. In addition, the course instructor that I had, Zsolt, was exceedingly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire program. The associate instructor Masood was always available for help in between sessions and was able to assist me in a few of my projects. Thanks to this bootcamp I have realized that I not only have an affinity for coding and programming, I actually enjoy it. This bootcamp has inspired me to pursue a second Bachelor's in software development and I will be sure to use all of the skills that I have acquired here to good use. My only feedback is that some of the courses are a bit dated (not by much, 2017 or so).

Overall very good experience mostly

I liked how they let me get additional live support through the associate instructors, I am enrolled in the Web Development Bootcamp. There was one time where the course quiz did not work accurately but they fixed it quickly. The support, and academic advisors will usually respond quicker if the lead instructor is busy with something. The only reason why I am not rating 5-star is because some of the other students in the cohort are just lazy and low-IQ and waste a lot of time asking basic questions that can be quickly googled. They should keep those students far from the ones who know how to operate a machine!

Amazing learning experience!

Some of the many pros of enrolling in the Bootcamp are: (1) We have many exercises in modules provided for new lessons every week. (2) The staff such as the coach I had, and the advisor Moses are very helpful, and guided me through the success of my certification of completion. (3) My coach, Karl, offered to help his students on his own time on the weekends, and provided extensions on projects. Now, the only con I have is that some of the modules were out of date; however, I have been informed that the program has created a new Web Development Bootcamp Course Curriculum that is updated with the latest software and coding language. Overall, I had a great and challenging experience. This is a self study curriculum, and I learned so much from the coach, modules, and conducting a lot of my own research. If you are a problem solver, and like a challenge, then this is for you!

Cloud Master Bootcamp

I took the Cloud Master Bootcamp. The instructors had rich experience in Cloud development, and offered tangible advise for all in the course. Instructors made themselves available even outside of our classes, and were very responsive to emails. I have a much deeper understanding of Cloud development! Recommend!

Give it a try

First of all, i'd like to say that i'm only halfway through yet. But this is an amazing journey. Though you have to struggle with a lot of info(previously unknown), then a bunch of labs, and a couple of projects.
All the way Aly and Coach Bill are there for you, answering your questions, thus making your life easier.
Every time you start a new course, you need to get used to the instruction and the type of evaluation(whether it is an after-course exam or a test after each module). But the moment you get it, it all starts making sense. And be ready to spend hours watching the videos and taking notes.
As for the labs, Annas is very helpful, fast-responding and ready to have a one-on-one zoom session to solve your problems. Labs are easy as long as you read through the instructions carefully and make sure you understand what is expected from you.
Projects are an essential part of the course. It's the time when you can apply everything in practice. What i thought at first was that i wasn't ready for any of those, and i would fail. But, guess what, i succeeded, because you can always ask your Coach for assistance if you're stuck or if you messed up something. Or share your hardships in a chat with your fellow bootcampers.
So all in all i can recommend this course to anybody willing to try the field of cyber security, maybe it's your bag of donuts.
