What alumni say about us
I spent years troubleshooting networks, craving more impact and challenge. This bootcamp wasn't just training; it was a transformation. The hands-on mentoring and real-world interview scenarios were key to landing my new role. For anyone in IT feeling stuck, this is your launchpad.
Writing code was my day-to-day, but I longed for the thrill of cybersecurity. The week dedicated to LinkedIn opened unexpected doors, leading me to my current role as a consultant. The bootcamp wasn't just a course; it was a career catalyst.
As an IT Admin, I was comfortable but not fulfilled. The bootcamp's resume makeover and targeted interview prep were game-changers. Now, as an Incident Response Analyst, I face new challenges daily. This journey has been nothing short of rewarding.
Transitioning from testing software to analyzing security threats felt like a leap into the unknown. The bootcamp demystified this transition, providing practical projects and interview practice. Now, I tackle security challenges with confidence. It's been a career-defining move.
I aimed to transition from network engineering to a SOC Analyst role, but the path wasn't clear until this bootcamp. The initial career mentoring set the stage for success, and by the end, I was not just ready but eager. Today, I thrive in my role, equipped with invaluable skills and confidence.
Dreaming of a more dynamic role than IT support, I found this bootcamp. The comprehensive curriculum and intense interview prep were transformative, propelling me into a cybersecurity engineering position. For IT professionals seeking growth, this experience is a pivotal stepping stone
