About
American University is a Cybersecurity bootcamp located in Washington, D.C. The American University bootcamp is powered by HackerU, a cybersecurity training institute. Students can choose one of two certification programs: Ethical Hacking or Cybersecurity. Students of the Cybersecurity bootcamp will be prepared to take the Network+, CSK, Linux LPI Essential, CCNA CyberOps, Security+, (ISC)2 SSCP, CySA+, and CCNA certification exams. Students of the Ethical Hacking bootcamp will be prepared to take the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) exam and the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) exam. The Cybersecurity bootcamp teaches security for Windows, cloud, cyber infrastructure, Linux, network, and Python. This bootcamp also teaches Game Theory, which helps students step inside the mind of a hacker to offensively defend against cyber threats. The Ethical Hacking bootcamp teaches Python programming as well as Offensive Security techniques including Pass the Ticket, Pass the Hash, and the Metasploit and Veil frameworks. Both American University courses offer hands-on and project-based learning through Immersive Simulation Cyber Labs.
The Cybersecurity program is suitable for everyone, including beginners and those with some self-taught experience in the field. The Ethical Hacking bootcamp is open only to those with a Computer Science degree or those with comparable work experience as an IT professional, programmer, or software developer. Potential students for either program are required to first complete a 30-hour introductory course. After this 30-hour course, students will be asked to take an exam and assessment before moving forward into the full program. If students choose not to move forward into the full program after the introductory course, they are eligible for a 50% tuition refund.
American University’s bootcamps are designed to get graduates jobs. Career Services administrators help students throughout the bootcamp’s duration with resumes, cover letters, professional networking, and industry-specific interviewing. Instructors help students connect with alumni and top businesses in the area, and an internship assistance program is also available, though placement is not guaranteed.
