    Cybersecurity Bootcamp: REMOTE (Live-Online)

    Awesome Experience. I can confidently say all of the professors were amazing and the network alone was worth the cost of admission. Coming from someone who is not in the IT space, I believe this Bootcamp is very much what you make of it. You can "sit in the back of the class," going at your own pace, or you can actively participate in conversations, share your screen in labs, and receive valuable live feedback. It's a little nerve-wracking at first, but trust me, you'll get the most out ...

    Great team at Evolve

    If you're willing to put in the work and spend hours learning the material; this Boot Camp will pay off.  The team at Evolve Security provided the structure I needed to stay focused and get my OSCP.  We did have an instructor change half way through bit they recovered well and it did not interfere with the flow of the course.  The team cares about the students and makes themselves available at all hours.  They have a little work to do with the new changes to the exam but I am confident t...

    I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than I received at Evolve Security Academy! From the hands on curriculum and supportive peers, to the complementary career coaching, I managed to completely change my life for the better! I went from a college dropout with experience with computers or cybersecurity, to a cybersecurity professional in Evolve Security Academy’s 20 week bootcamp!

    This school is fanstastic!

    I really could not have picked a better boot camp! I learned way more about cybersecurity than I imagined I could. First of all the scheduling was great. I'm sure it helped all of us with not getting burned even with all of the information we learned throughout the entire 20 weeks. The instructors as well as the assistant instructors were so knowledgeable, patient and helpful. Everyone was willing and eager to answer all of our questions that we could have had. I really loved the amount ...

    Great company to learn from and work for!

    I want to preface this review by stating that, at the time of this review (8/19/2021), I am employed by Evolve Security. However, if I did not think highly of them as a company I would not have accepted their offer.

    I have a background in web and mobile application development, so some of the topics covered I already knew, such as Python programming. Having said that I still learned more than I thought was possible in such a short amount of time. At times it felt like I was drinki...

    Cyber Security Professional

    I enjoyed my time in the bootcamp. The labs covered specific topics and allowed us to learn various techniques and were all generally unique from one another. The instructors were a wealth of knowledge and probably my single favorite thing about this bootcamp. Lastly, just getting an opportunity to network with fellow students and Evolve staff, is something you cannot really put a price tag on. It will be something I can reap the benefits of for years to come.​

    Cybersecurity Analyst

    This program was extremely good at having enough of a blend of "hold your hand" and self-accountability. I went from being extremely technologically ignorant and slow, to now understanding ports, scans, and so much more I now feel embarrassed to not have even heard about. They were extremely organized and helpful and still remain helpful even after students have passed. And its a phenomenal community to be a part of.
