    Great Bootcamp

    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.

    Evolve Security Academy is the best bootcamp program out there. Evolve provides hands on learning across very relevant security topics and truly prepares students with the knowledge they need to get their foot in the door to the Cybersecurity field while encouraging students for life long learning as well. Evolve Security Academy also creates a safe space for students who have never touched anything information technology related in their life (like myself!) to learn and ask questions. Y...

    Awesome class

    The Evolve Security Practical Penetration Testing class was very informative and fun. I had some knowledge going in to the class but still learned a wealth of practical information I can apply to my everyday job as a Software Developer and System Administrator. I would highly recommend this class to anyone that writes software or maintains IT infrastructure because if you understand how threat actor can compromise your systems you can help better against protect those threats....

    Cyber Security Specialist

    As a person with no prior background in the field, the overall experience helped me ground myself in the fundamentals and served as a stepping point for me to start my career. 
    The curriculum is very immersive and the amount of knowledge you will learn will directly tie with how engaged your are with the material. 
    The career couching prepared by this program has also helped after the program has ended and provides good insight for people looking for a job right out of a learning p...

    Waste of Money

    Every single thing you learn is online for FREE.  They take in people with Master's Degrees in Technology alongside restaurant busboys and Uber drivers.  You can guess who might find work and who obviously won't.  90% of the class they throw you homework problems, so you are studying a lot on your own (but paying for thousands?) or class group work.  The staff was clueless, as they referred me to employers who asked why Evolve sent me over when I have little/none of the credentials.  The...
