Attending Evolve Security Academy bootcamp is one of the best decisions I've made in my career. I had a technical background but wanted to really focus on Cybersecurity. The 16 week program was not a piece of cake but with enough determination, patience and with the help of the knowledgeable instructors, I can proudly say that I've done it. The modules were well thought of and classes were presented in a professional manner every session. I especially like the breakroom activities that gives us opportunity to work together in small teams to analyze and solve different tasks. Career coaching is also another strength of this program. Not only are students trained technically but they also guided us on how to present ourselves in the market and prepare for job hunting. Overall, Evolve has really done a great job exposing students with knowledge of the real world scenarios and possible solution relating to Cybersecurity. If you want to train to become a Cybersecurity professional, I strongly recommend joining the Evolve Security Academy. It requires work and sacrifice, but I assure you that it's worth it. -

Great cohort experience. Knowledgeable instructors and assistant instructors helped us get through the four months and really hone in on the subject matter, and we had two wonderful career coaches, too. I'm now part of a (large!) new family and beginning a new career, and know I have many people to reach out to for help or advice in cybersecurity and beyond.
Only issue was our cohort was the largest class size (they've since limited the size I believe), and this could be a problem with some topics that were harder to grasp for some, or with troubleshooting. -

Evolve is the GOAT!

PROS: tremendous overview of the cybersecurity landscape. I’m very happy to have attended Evolve Security Academy (I opted for the remote bootcamp option), as I had an excellent experience and it was a great step to starting my IT/ cybersecurity career. While it's impossible to cover every aspect of cybersecurity in 17 weeks, the course provided a well-thought-out curriculum and a structured approach to covering the material (for example: starting with Networking => security frameworks => OSINT etc- the material built on itself). We also had great instructors who- not only conveyed the lessons in a clear, patient manner- but also tied in real-life examples that they’d encountered from their job experience. Lastly, we also had a capstone project where we conducted a full scale security assessment for a not-for-profit from start to finish. It was pretty sweet.
CONS: No place is perfect, but whatever concerns or issues I had while was in the cohort... were always dealt with in an immediate and helpful fashion.- The end of unit quizzes & competency assessments should be treated a bit more seriously- when the time came to take the final, I realized I wasn't as strong in a couple areas than I thought I had been. Looking back it was because I had missed the quiz/ competency assessment for that unit. Thankfully I buckled down and quickly strengthened the material I needed to- but I wish I had been “hounded down” to have taken it sooner.
Besides its sterling reputation, as more and more cohorts graduate, attending Evolve becomes more and more valuable thanks to its strong budding alumni network. Would definitely recommend and if you have any specific questions or would like to hear more about my experience at Evolve, feel free to DM me on Twitter. -

Joining Evolve Security Academy is a great first step to start your Cybersecurity education. I had no prior IT experience before joining the bootcamp but the hands-on education with the security tools, the support provided by the instructor and AIs were beneficial to me grasping the knowledge. Although the bootcamp was intense, it was a great learning experience, the knowledge and information I gained from this bootcamp will put me in good stead for my future career in Cybersecurity.

I would say that prospective students should get the Comptia Security+ study guide to go through while going through this course. Really helps explain topics (in extra detail) that will come up and you'll be ready to use the exam voucher by the end of it!
My cohort had a good size of people from all different backgrounds. Assistant Instructors were friendly and approachable.
Martin as the career coach is really great; I have a lot of confidence that following his module will really help in professional networking and getting a job.
Being as I was totally new to the cybersecurity field this was a really good course for me to be exposed to different areas but if you're someone who has spent some time in the field maybe it'd be better for one of their more advanced courses!
One thing I'd warn is that it's a bit of time commitment but if you find yourself with time during quarantine then maybe it's time to try something new -

The Evolve Cyber Bootcamp was a great experience for me. A wide range of topics is covered throughout the course by instructors who have spent years in the field. My particular instructor had been a part of the U.S. Air Force and gone on to later work for the NSA. He was great about going in depth on topics and spending time in areas that students had questions even if it didn't necessarily relate directly to the curriculum. The topics covered in the course are the same ones you will consistently see on cyber security job postings. The job placement rate in my class was very high and Evolve helped to facilitate our job searches as much as possible. Many of the students in my class started in all sorts of fields that weren't cyber related and ended up with positions before or just after the end of the course. -

Awesome Learning Experience
Read more Read less of Josh Ma's review
I couldn’t think of a better place to start my new cybersecurity career than at Evolve Security Academy! I loved the bootcamp and learning alongside my 13 cohort mates. I’m impressed at how much the instructors have fit into their curriculum and supplemented the lectures with solid labs. As a cohort, we had the opportunity to perform an actual security assessment of a local non-profit organization and present our findings. There’s great value in learning not just how to ethically hack an organization, but to communicate the findings to clients as well. Evolve allowed me to do all of that.
The instructors are great, and more importantly, they are also working professionals during the day (classes are at night) so all of their instruction is rooted in practice. Their passion for Cybersecurity is infectious - it’s clear they all love what they do. Outside of instruction, I found their admin/admissions team to be amazing. As one of their first GI Bill applicants, they patiently helped me navigate a complicated process to apply my education benefits.
Note for Vets: My bootcamp was in the summer of 2019. At the time, I was receiving only partial BAH because the course was designated as part-time by the Illinois VA Dept. If you intend to use the GI Bill, check with Evolve’s Admissions team if that has changed, or understand that you may also receive partial BAH.
My main criticism is that I wish the curriculum spent more time on defensive (blue team) learning than on offensive (red team). Security is so nuanced and specialized that it would be impossible to cover both in depth in just a single bootcamp. It’s a lot to ask for, I admit. But, you’ll find that more jobs align with security operations, incident response, and risk management than with penetration testing, so it makes more sense to tailor the bootcamp curriculum to the industry’s overall demands. Evolve's Advanced Pen Testing course, which I’ve taken and loved, is the better venue to dive deep into red teaming.
The job assistance also started later than I preferred. We touched on the job search, prep, and interview process a bit during the bootcamp, but those didn’t really kick off until after graduation.
Overall, I rate Evolve Security Academy a solid 9/10. I loved the experience and the people, and if I could do it all over, I wouldn’t hesitate to start there again. Good luck! -

Evolve Security Had a vast amount of information to learn from, I loved the course material as it is updated and fresh. The instructors do an amazing job at teaching the material and are very patient with students that needed help. The school is a lot of fun and very hands on. They also help with job searches in the cyber department, highly recommended to anyone that struggles with job searching after they have obtained their certification!
Pros:
-Great material
-very Knowledgeable staff
-Extra fun activities for the students to increase skills(safe pentesting)
-Getting real world experience with other company's to see what it's like.
----Most importantly----
You get the most out of the course in person which I would recommend you taking for the more hands on experience!
Cons:
-Short time span: If the Course was longer we could spend more time on the material.
But Overall Evolve Security is an amazing school if you want to increase your knowledge on cyber security and I highly recommend Evolve to anyone that is trying to advance in their career of cyber security. I really want to thank the instructors for all the help and support they have giving me on my journey on learning the material! -

My experience at Evolve Security Academy was transformative. During the course, I developed a deep passion for cyber security by going through hands-on lab assignments with awesome instructors, in a close-knit cohort environment, while getting an opportunity to experiment with many different security domains. Since my time at ESA, I continue to receive support from the instructors, program leaders, and fellow alumni. The relationships built, passion developed, and experiences along the way have truly changed the trajectory of my career path! -

I attended the cyber security boot camp fall session at Evolve Security. I never attended a boot camp before so I didn't know what to expect. Coming from the legal field with little technology skills I can honestly say I was a little intimidated. the intimidation went away on the first day. The staff and professors were awesome!! They understood most of their students work full time jobs, new to the cyber security field, and nervous lol. The Evolve Cyber Security experience was GREAT! I learned so much information and the hands on training was like non other. You work with real companies while attending the boot camp. The labs, training, quizzes, and 24 hr help..... Evolve has the perfect ingredients to help you launch your career in the cyber Field.
Pros: Flexibility, real life situations, small class, free vouchers for certifications, job placement help, free training material, webinars/meetups.
Cons: only 1 professor in class. I think 2 professors will compliment the classroom. -

Great Overall Experience!

I attended Evolve Security's in-person cybersecurity academy in the summer of 2019. This 16 week long course was instrumental in shaping my future career path, and teaching me the industry of cybersecurity. Prior to attending the academy, I had zero knowledge of the cyber world, and felt unsure if I was fit to participate in the academy. Yet the instructors helped quickly get me up-to-speed during the first few weeks, and were extremely helpful during the entirety of the course. From learning Python, using Splunk, to running vulnerability scans with Burp Suite, I was able to get a comprehensive understanding of relevant tools and how to use them. Perhaps my favorite part of the bootcamp was the hands-on, real-world experience gained by working alongside a local non-profit organization to perform a full security assessment. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in going into a career in InfoSec.

I am so glad I decided to do this course. Evolve Security designed a bootcamp that gave me the tools and foundational knowledge to start a strong career in cybersecurity. All of the TAs were really informative and took time to help me think through challenges. I also had the chance to nerd out with peers and teachers on current cybersecurity trends. I can now speak confidently about cybersecurity from a technical and policy perspective. 10/10 would recommend. -

EXCELLENT PROGRAM

I had the unique experience of participating in the Evolve Security 17-week live in structor led bootcamp, an incredible experience, the Academy team works tirelessly to incorporate feedback and improve the coursework, labs, and direction of future modules. Having one foot in the bootcamp as a student, and one foot in the office as an employee, the appreciation of seeing how well balanced this program is, and my ability to contribute raw feedback was a rewarding experience. This is a fantastic program, and I'm increasingly proud of what I've learned and my ability to speak to aspects of security, both from a policy and technical perspective, that would have been improbable or prohibitively difficult to learn on my own, and with out the infrastructure of this program.

Best way to break into cybersecurity if you are willing to put in the work
Read more Read less of Ryan Le's review
If you are looking for the best way to break into cybersecurity and willing to put in the work, the bootcamp is the perfect fit for you. I learned so many different tools and techniques about hacking within the 17-week period. I started the bootcamp as a novice who barely had any knowledge about networking, but after the bootcamp with a lot of practices on many different labs, I was able to comfortably run an assessment on a host or even a subnet (from initial scan for host discovery to exploitation and reporting). Besides, I really enjoyed those blue team – red team exercises where we were divided into team and started attacking on each other. These exercises really helped me get better understanding about hacking from different vantage points, both defensive and offensive sides. As a software developer, I found this experience very valuable since it helped me become more aware about security and know how to properly harden my system to prevent potential attacks. All in all, I am very satisfied with the experience I got from the bootcamp and definitely recommend anyone who has an interest in cybersecurity.

The Evolve Academy Bootcamp was a fantastic educational experience. The material and instruction were insightful and concise. While it's impossible to cover every aspect of security in 17 weeks, the course provided a holistic approach to the material and covered both overarching theoretical concepts as well as hands-on technical implementations. The instructors were also more than happy to encourage students to dig deeper on subjects they were interested in, and provided fantastic examples of principles based on their real world job experience.

Immersive Deep Dive into OSCP Preparation
Read more Read less of Hasnain Khan's review
OSCP is no easy exam. The instructor and curriculum do build your basics for passing the OSCP, giving you tips and tricks for scenarios you may encounter on the exam. They hit hard on the fact that the main focus is getting the methodology down, which should be the most important exercise and skill to develop. Also, they provide feedback and any help you need during office hours. At the end of the day, you still need to practice after the lectures, taking time to practice post-curriculum and do the course labs. It's like training a muscle on how to enumerate, exploit, and research your findings—knowing what to look for and what not to waste time on. The more you do it, the better and faster you will be at rooting machines.
The only thing I wish was that the curriculum were a little longer and went a bit deeper into use bloodhound. For example, I ran across a scenario in the AD set where I had to look deeper into using BloodHound. I had to use it to visually map out the environment so I could leverage a compromised user's outbound rule permissions to pivot and access the next machine in the AD set. Overall it took it took me around ~ 4 months to prepare for the exam. -

I started the program in October 2023 and graduated in 2024 from Evolve Security Academy.
Right after finishing the bootcamp, I landed a job within days and even came back as a teaching assistant because I had such a great experience. Before the bootcamp, I was living paycheck to paycheck. It genuinely made me job-ready and completely changed my trajectory.
The instructors were excellent, and I’ve had nothing but positive experiences throughout. My first role out of the program was as a Security Analyst, and now I’m working as a Cybersecurity Engineer. I went from making around $50k a year to $180k and I can work from anywhere in the world.
If you put in the work, this can truly be life-changing. -

From No Experience to Job Ready in Cybersecurity

When I joined Evolve Security Academy, I had just graduated with a degree in Computer Science and had no real cybersecurity experience. I understood technical concepts, but I did not know how security worked in practice.
Evolve gave me that bridge. The program is hands on and focused on real world work. We analyzed traffic, ran vulnerability scans, worked in SIEM tools, mapped findings to MITRE ATT&CK, and wrote professional reports. One of the most valuable experiences was working with a nonprofit organization to conduct a full risk assessment. We identified risks, documented findings, and provided recommendations, which made the learning feel real and impactful.
Evolve also provides strong career support through a dedicated career coach who helps with resumes, LinkedIn, job applications, and interview preparation. That guidance made a big difference for me.
I came in with no cybersecurity background and left ready to step into the field as a cybersecurity professional. -

I completed the Evolve Security Penetration Testing Bootcamp, and it was a game changer for my career. The structure, hands-on labs, and real-world attack methodology directly prepared me for the OSCP exam.What I appreciated most was the emphasis on enumeration, methodology, and thinking like an attacker instead of just running tools. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and genuinely invested in student success.The bootcamp helped sharpen my privilege escalation workflow, Active Directory attack paths, and reporting skills — all of which were critical for passing OSCP.If you're serious about breaking into offensive security or preparing for OSCP, I highly recommend Evolve. -

The instructors taught the course in a way that was understandable. As someone who came into the course with minimal knowledge of Kali and pen testing in general, I felt that they took the extra time and effort to ensure that I was following along with the course material and were always open to my questions in office hours.

Recently finished an intense 8-week OSCP bootcamp with Evolve Security Academy and honestly, it was one of the best learning experiences I’ve had. The training was super hands-on, challenging in all the right ways, and I walked away with a ton of new skills.
What really made it special was the people. I met some awesome folks along the way, and having a community to learn and struggle through the tough parts with made it not just valuable but also super fun. My mentor was super knowledgeable and she was always very patient and would make sure everybody understood everything before moving on to another topic. She also continued to support me even after the bootcamp ended and helped me overcome any obstacles along the way.
I would highly recommend to Evolve Security Academy anyone interested about getting into pentesting and passing their OSCP exam! -

Outstanding instructors and support!

I'm so glad I found the Evolve Security Academy Cybersecurity Program because it would have been near impossible for me to curate all the course content, exercises, quizzes, labs, etc. on my own (despite the vast availability of free resources, this simply is a very hard thing to do). The format (live online lectures, coupled with some recorded lectures and work you do on your time) was very effective! You don’t miss out on class and instructor interactions, and, at the same time, you get through much of the material on your own time. Class meetings were M-Th evenings for 2 hours—that made it easier to do than a longer stretch of 3 hours. Office hours were held every evening we had class, so you get the best opportunity to ask questions and stay abreast of the material. The Saturday classes were every other week for 5 hours, which allowed time for assessments, extended exercises, and labs. The curriculum was laid out in a logical sense, with additional resources given if you want to learn/practice even more. Having quizzes, many labs, and assessments kept us in line with the material.
The best part of the program: the instructors and teaching assistants (T.A.s) -- knowledgeable professionals, fully available and helpful to a 'T'. Even though I loved all the instructors, I would say this program would not be the same without the close assistance of the T.A.s! I'd highly recommend the ESA bootcamp because it's a professional program and very well executed, with a huge amount of learning opportunities, and it prepares someone for an entry-level job in cybersecurity. The support in terms of instructors, TAs, the director, our career coach, the CyberLab learning portal, etc. is truly outstanding!

The Evolve Academy bootcamp is a good entry for anyone completely new to tech and looking for a career start in cybersecurity. Having different instructors who are actively working in the field teach in their respective areas meant getting quality teaching across all topics. Every instructor was engaged when teaching and always eager to help. The small lab sections allowed every student to ask questions and really dig deep into any misunderstandings. -

Having been brand new to the field of Cybersecurity I feel that the curriculum offered was a great jumping off point. The structure exposes you to a lot of the different aspects/sub focuses of cybersecurity so that you can decide what interests you. It gives you the knowledge to know enough about a subject to be able to apply it, and to know whether it is something that you would like to continue pursuing. The classes build on themselves until at some point you realize that you have learned a lot and that you can apply the knowledge to future units. The final exams are both challenging and affirming, a reflection of real world application of our training. I think Evolve Security has set up a great ongoing support group and I am looking forward to remaining connected to the folk that I have met. -

The bootcamp was intensive and the curriculum touched on every thing you need to know to start a career in cybersecurity. This is from zero to hero of cybersecurity. For those considering a change in career, this bootcamp is the way to go. It is also a good training to grow cyber skills for people who have been in the field but have limited technical exposure. The boot camp will easily replace a cybersecurity degree. The main instructor and the TAs are knowledgeable and committed to the students. Hands-on labs and projects were well planned out and it is a good exposure to make you ready for jobs. The career coaching sessions provide you with all you need to land a job during or by the end of the bootcamp. You can never regret going through this training. -

Evolve Security Academy was the best option I researched for getting into the Cybersecurity world using my veteran’s GI Bill benefits. Throughout the whole cohort you are given ample amount of time and assistance to learn and grow. My cohort was split into 4 separate groups to make it easier to learn with a Teacher Assistance leading each group. My TA was amazing and provided so much relevant information as she was once a student through Evolve and now is working as a Cybersecurity Analyst for a Cybersecurity Firm. This bootcamp is a lot of fun, but you must be prepared to sacrifice some of your personal time to grow.
As for the veteran aspect I couldn’t praise Evolve Security Academy enough! Our cohort was online for 20 weeks that was supposed to be guaranteed paid by the VA GI Bill. The VA decided to stop funding online classes that were meant to be in person in July 2022. Evolve Security Academy tried resolving this issue with the VA but the VA didn’t budge. Evolve Security Academy helped us veterans in the cohort and did not charge us for this incident and ate the cost for the rest of our time. This was such a class act and I can’t say enough praise worthy things about how this was handled by Evolve Security Academy. -

I have thought about going into cybersecurity for many years (from sound engineering), on-and-off, and I'm so glad I went for it with this bootcamp. I tried a few other courses that were very explicitly self-paced and just consisted of watching videos about various concepts. This bootcamp does do that, but takes it even further with discussion and insight from cybersecurity professionals who have been in the field for many years and adds in hands-on labs for students to get relevant experience using tools and techniques commonly used in the field, all in a schedule that works for most working people. If you've wanted to learn about cybersecurity but those self-paced programs with no hands-on labs did nothing for you, I'd highly consider doing this bootcamp. They even offer a free fundamentals course that gives you an idea of what the program is like, which I'd also recommend.
