Day0 Institute

In the past year, I purchased a course that I found to be unsatisfactory. After only a few weeks of use, I discontinued its application. I attempted to contact Day 0 customer support for a refund, but they declined to process it. Furthermore, they had previously issued me a $50 Amazon gift card as a reward for my 5-star review. To this day, this purchase stands out as one of my most regrettable financial decisions. I had informed them of my discontinuation of the program and my financial difficulties. I am skeptical of the authenticity of many reviews on this platform, as they often provide a $50 Amazon gift card as an incentive for leaving a 5-star review. I previously left a review but now Im leaving my honest review without being offered a gift card. 

I am currently knee deep in the Day0 Courses.  So far I am loving it.  It was easy to get started, my mentors are easily accessible, and my success coordinator is always keeping an eye on me and keeping moving in the right direction.  The courses have been easy to follow along.  I love that they are taught by cyber security professionals that gives you the ins and outs of how it really is.  Looking forward to getting my certs and taking the next steps to succeeding as a Cybersecurity Professional.

I’m SO glad I joined the Day0 Institute Bootcamp! The way the course is laid out makes everything so simple and easy to follow—as long as you're willing to put in the work. The material is structured in a way that makes learning cybersecurity feel approachable, even if you're new to the field.  I really appreciate how help is always available whenever I need it, and the student success coordinator does an amazing job with communication and support!! 

 This course has been a great learning experience, with a straightforward structure and excellent support. As someone new to cybersecurity, I was pleasantly surprised by how accessible the material was and how much guidance I received from mentors. The support system truly enhances the learning process, making it easier to grasp complex concepts. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to break into the cybersecurity field. 

I have started with day 0 a couple weeks ago. I feel like the coursework and the bootcamp for CS is well structured with ample mentor support on the self paced journey for anyone who is just new to the space. I have to talk about how the mentor’s explain topics with more simplicity and still cover major technical aspects of the space. They stand out in guiding students on where to focus more pin pointing areas of importance and provide virtual lab environments for practice. Overall this has been a good journey and looking forward for my continued journey with them

I started the Day0 CyberSecurity online course 2 weeks ago, and I am very happy I made this decision. So far, the course offers a very in depth overview of the many subjects covered regarding computers, the behind the scenes of how they operate, and an in depth understanding of cybersecurity, all the way from intro to expert level. The course becomes more advanced the further through it you go, and I love that I was able to go into it knowing very little about computers and NOTHING about cybersecurity, as that is not my previous background. By the end of this course, however, I am confident I will be an expert in both. I like that each lecture video comes with a set of downloadable pdf notes, and that the whole thing is self-paced so I can do it around my schedule. 

The payment plans are very flexible which was one of the biggest green flags for me, along with how low the cost was for the amount of value it offers. The promise of an internship at the end of the course, along with assistance in finding and applying for jobs after that was what fully convinced me to join this course. And I do not regret it. The advisors are very helpful and students can reach out to them at any time with help or questions. If you are wondering if you should sign up, I absolutely would recommend it. I never thought learning cyber and computer science would be so easy, but this course made it doable for me. Thank you Day0!

I have only cracked the surface but the structure of the courses is highly conducive to learning in a way that sinks in conceptually, rather than simply throwing information at you, to be regurgitated on a test somewhere down the road. I like that there is a quiz after each module, however short they  are, they help confirm that you took away the most important aspects of the lesson. The lessons themselves are clear and well put together but i wouldnt mind some more real world anecdotes or stories from the working in the field. Great job so far Day0!

I am one week into my Day0 courses and I gained a ton of clarity and confidence. I have worked in the technology industry and a recruiter and PM, however never just sat down to really learn technology. In my first week, the insight and knowledge that I have gained so far really increased my confidence that this is my career field. I am sure that once finished, I will be able to secure the opportunities that I aspire. 

The Day0 Cybersecurity Analyst Bootcamp has been a very pleasant experience for me since I began several months ago.  Aside from being self-paced, the instructional pace is very accessible to those new to the field (the fundamentals section is effective for catching up those with no software experience whatsoever and a helpful refresh for those with some experience).  The lectures are concise and well-summarized, rich with real world examples to aid understanding.  The quiz format highlights key concepts and students are reminded to review terms beyond what is asked in the quizzes in preparation for the CompTIA+ Security exam, so all the learning materials are at the student's fingertips.  The advanced course goes over more specific concepts and is noticeably more challenging, but retains the familiar and effective learning format.  After this, the lab series is a well-designed section which gives the learner the opportunity to apply previously-taught concepts in hands on format with tutorials meant to be watched after completion to check for understanding; this I found particularly effective and fun.  To round out the experience, the connection with mentor experts in the field has been very useful to get past the stick points we all run into sooner or later.  Awesome course and a bargain for the price of enrollment!

The Day0 bootcamp is truly remarkable. It starts from a basic level of understanding and progresses all the way to a clear grasp of cybersecurity concepts. What sets it apart is its emphasis on practical knowledge and real-world applications, which makes learning easy and effective. Having previously attended another cybersecurity class, I found that Day0 excels in helping participants comprehend these important concepts. 

When I started back in March, I didn't know what I was getting myself into. The material was straight forward and easy to follow along for the most part. However, I faced a fair share of challenges along the way and even considered quitting due to hardships. I'll admit it wasn't easy to stay focused, but then I remembered why I signed up. My why became the motivating factor which led me keep going while pushing beyond my comfort zone. Now, I'm saying it's going to be a cake walk. You get what you put in. If you're still undecided, I would highly recommend giving Day0 a go—it was the best decision I ever made.

I took the two courses that were offered and thought they were well taught by very knowledgeable teachers. They were always there and willing to answer any questions I had about anything related to the courses. I came from a retail background, but also a bit of computer knowledge, and learned a lot. The second course was more in depth about actual cybersecurity and prepared me for taking the CompTIA Security+ exam, which I passed on the first try. I finished in January and have been looking for a role in cybersecurity ever since, with Day0 instructors helping me along the way. 

Hi, ever since I started yesterday I knew that I was on the right track and path to the cybersecurity team world. I really enjoy the curriculum and break down of computer jargon and languages. It doesn’t appear to be too difficult to comprehend and I appreciate the stand by crew members who are only a phone call or text or email away. I’ve been fascinated by/with computers for years now and I too would someday would love to build computers. It’ll be fun some day to be able to be on the end of the phone call or visit or even merely sitting behind the desk helping with computer problems.
 I think it shouldn’t be too difficult being that I learned how to maneuver big tractor trailer’s alone. That’s another big issue at hand in solving problems and remaining alert.
I say kudos to DayO and mentors and me. I appreciate you too.

So far I like Day0's bootcamp for a Cyber Security Analyst. I'm a 38-year old single mother who only has a background in retail and healthcare. I started Day0 3-weeks ago and so far I have learned so much about the inter-workings of a computer and what each part does that I didn't think I could learn. I finally reached the courses for the fun stuff and I'm excited. I like that the courses are not long. I can complete the courses in my own time. Start and stop when I need to for notes, or to follow along when entering commands. I also like that theres a short 3-5 question quiz on each course and it gives your grade and feedback immediately. I did get stuck on 2 concepts but once I either kept going or re-watched a course, I understood the information. So far it's going great!

Coming from a change of careers from airplane mechanic or just a mechanic in general for 10 years I was very nervous to try something new but after making my decision with day0 , the fundamentals courses have gave me a very positive and easier way to understand how many things in the IT world works. I’m excited to continue learning more and more every single day and I’m very happy I have made the decision to continue with day0. I’m more then positive I will enter this field more confident. 

I wouldn’t waste your money on this program. It’s literally just someone talking and quizzing you on three basic questions — you can easily learn the same things (and probably more) on your own.I originally left a positive review because they promised a $50 Amazon gift card (and honestly, who doesn’t love Amazon?), but they never sent it. They clearly just wanted good reviews to boost their image. Unfortunately, I can’t go back and delete my original review, so here’s my honest opinion now.The only thing this program seems to be good at is marketing itself. If you want to learn how to create hype and sell an idea, pay attention to their social media strategy — that’s where their real skill lies. But if you’re hoping to actually learn something valuable, save your time and your money.
