    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.

    Best decision I've made to immerse myself into the cybersecurity field

    Pros: As a remote student the class schedule worked great for my busy schedule.
               There is always either an instructor or assistant instructor their to provide assistance through out the day even outside of class hours.

    Evolve Security Academy provided me the opportunity to make a mid-career shift from financial services and sales to an industry that is trending upward, and that offers potential for career advancement.  I came into the program with minimal technical expertise or knowledge, so was initially anxious about my ability to process and retain the information.  It is a lot of information within a relatively short period of time, but if you stick with it, and stay up on the course materials and ...
