Improving my tech background with Cybersteps
A CS degree gives you the broad map, but specializing in cybersecurity requires practical depth. Enrolling in the Cybersteps course was one of the best decisions I’ve made to bridge that gap.The program allowed me to take concepts I had only touched on briefly during my studies and explore them with real depth. Combining hands-on practice, preparation for industry certifications like Security+, and personal 1-on-1 career coaching made the whole transition feel structured and actionable.Big thanks to the team and mentors at Cybersteps for the continuous and excellent support!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Careersteps is also a valuable part of the program, helping with CVs, LinkedIn, interviews, and preparation for the job market.A great place to learn, grow, and start a new career in cybersecurity. 😊Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
Pablo Garcia-StreckerTrainee · Cybersecurity · Graduation year 2026
An immense learning toolbox supported by seamless administrative execution
From both a technical and administrative standpoint, this program is exceptionally well-structured and highly professional. The academy managed the entire German state-funding (Bildungsgutschein) and AZAV-certification process with absolute precision, making what is usually an administrative headache feel completely seamless.
Once the course begins, the physical and virtual learning toolbox they provide is truly top-tier. Students are equipped with high-performance corporate laptops that they are legally permitted to keep upon successful graduation.
More importantly, the practical learning environment is massive, featuring robust, hands-on virtual sandbox laboratories where you safely build, analyze, and defend complex infrastructures. Having a continuous, real-world technical playground is exactly how high-level operating system and networking concepts actually stick.
I highly recommend this program to anyone serious about transitioning into cybersecurity.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Good, Better, Cybersteps!
Ich bin einer der ersten die die Cybersecurity Weiterbildung bei Cybersteps auf Deutsch machen. Ich kann es nur empfehlen. Habe mir im Vorfeld viele Anbieter angeschaut aber ich bin so froh mich für Cybersteps entschieden zu haben. Wir kratzen in unserer Weiterbildung nicht nur an der Oberfläche sondern gehen tief in die Materie. LINUX programmieren, Powershell programmieren, RedTeam vs. BlueTeam Szenario, Ki und ich bin gerade mal in Woche drei meiner einjährigen Weiterbildung. Vom Mitbegründer über den Geschäftsführer bis zu den Lehrern, Du bist mit jedem per Du und jeder hat auch immer ein offenes Ohr für Deine Anliegen. Also hört auf zu suchen und kommt zu Cybersteps. Ihr werdet es garantiert nicht bereuen!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Great experience
Pros:
- Well-structured and comprehensive curriculum that covers a wide range of relevant cybersecurity topics.
- The mentorship is a huge plus—mentors give real insight into what working in the industry is actually like and help you focus on your individual goals.
- Mock interviews are incredibly helpful for building confidence and preparing for real-world scenarios.
- The career support is excellent, especially when it comes to refining your resume and LinkedIn profile.
Cons:
- While the program is designed to be completed within a set timeframe, realistically, it may take a bit longer for some students to complete all of the certifications, especially if they’re balancing other responsibilities.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

You have to try Cybersteps
My overall experience with Cybersteps was very positive. The instructors did a great job of explaining the material in a way that was easy to follow, and they often brought in their real-world experience, which made the lessons much more practical and relatable. One of the biggest highlights for me was working with Aviram. He was incredibly flexible and always made time to help when you needed it. He’s a great mentor—supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping you succeed.
The challenges and projects we worked on throughout the course were definitely tough, but in a good way. They pushed me out of my comfort zone and gave me a chance to apply what we were learning in real-world scenarios. It was hard work, but also really fun and rewarding. I learned a ton from those hands-on experiences.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Overall, a great learning experience that I’d recommend to anyone looking to get started in cybersecurity.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0
