    Title

    Most of the instructors were knowledgeable and helpful. The cost is high at $22K. There is a lot of information to learn. Unless you work part time or are unemployed, it is hard to grasp and retain concepts and work on homework projects--keeping up is difficult for those who work and have a family. You will be exposed to C#, HTML, CSS, some JavaScript and jQuery, ASP.NET, web forms, and SQL. There is a final project that all students do and then the project is presented to students, teache...

    Can't Stand Centriq

    I did Centriq back in 2016/2017. I was a young, optimistic 18 year old. I had already had about a year and a half of IT experience in the field, so I was already proficient in my work/field. I went to Centriq to have help with testing and for education on my resume. It's a great place with great staff, but the information they give you is as I would say..... like a fire hydrant. You just put your mouth up to it and try to swallow as much water as possible. The online resources they give yo...

    Centriq is the best thing that ever happened to me.

    I used my GI Bill to complete the .NET coding side of Centriq and it was the best experience of my life. It's WELL worth the time and money, it's an investment in your future. 

     

    I am working my dream job and I have been here for a year and a half. Without Centriq, I would still be killing my back as a landscaper and making nothing.

    Centriq 2023: My Cybersecurity Journey

    Early in 2023, I started Centriq's updated cybersecurity course with no coding experience except a few YouTube vids and too much gaming. Though the cost gave me pause, the end results were well worth it. The staff created a positive learning environment, and despite the intensity, I gained a solid grasp of cybersecurity and cloud solutions.
    Centriq not only polished my resume but equipped me with practical soft and hard skills I've struggled with in the past as an introver...

    Lack of Security

    I went to Centriq to take a test.  I was forced to leave my valuables (phone, wallet, etc.) in an unlocked drawer.   When I objected, I was told that the door to the room will be locked.  After taking my test when I came out, the door was wide open, and there was no receptionist nearby.  They used to have lockable lockers, but apparently that is too much of a hassle for them now.   Leave your valuables at home.  Only take two forms of ID with you.  The test environment was fine.  Except th...

    A lot of information in a short amount of time.

    Overall my experience with Centriq is positive. I took the Cloud and Security course, so I can not speak for the other courses that are offered. Ill describe my overall experience then have some bullet points below for pros and cons. I started my course earlier this year after dropping out of college, thinking that this will be a better option than 3 more years of college. Throughout the course, you are given an insane amount of information, and it comes at you fast. Taking notes, asking...

    $24k for abot $500 worth of certs

    Save your money. They try to cover a lot of info very quickly and the instructors think reading from slide shows is the same as teaching. I got a tech job after my course only to find out that nothing I was able to learn at Centriq was applicable in the real world. It's a real bait and switch. They say they will teach you how to be a cyber security expert but only talk about help desk for the first half of the program. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY LIKE I DID.

    Wasted Money!

    Hello,

    They will except all MONEY, VA, GI, sing you name to a loan application! Centriq Training is just a test prep building, Resume builders of lies, and money hungry vultures! Veterans and NON-Veterans stay away and go to community college to start, earning an Associates Degree an then Bachelors! The cost of Centrig for one course can pay for 2 years a Community College and just 3,000 short of a year at Park University (Big difference between Park and a testing facility). Furth...

    A great school that invests a lot in each student

    I attended the fullstack web developer track at Centriq Training. My experience there honestly changed my life. From day one of the track, you are learning. It is a fast paced, full immersion experience. However, if you are willing to invest the time and effort, you will be successful. The instructors are amazing. They were all really invested in the success of their students. You are able to schedule individual mentoring sessions with instructors if there is a concept that you are struggl...
