Level Effect
Founded by former National Security Agency (NSA) analysts, Level Effect is a cybersecurity education and training provider offering a 12-week Cyber Defense Analyst (CDA) Program. Students engage in hands-on, immersive learning that helps them master the skills needed to defend and protect an organization’s network. Students begin the course with a rudimentary understanding of cybersecurity and finish with the skills and knowledge they need to start a career in cybersecurity. Classes are live and take place Monday through Thursday from 7-9pm CT. Students can expect to spend between 15 to 20 hours per week (including live sessions) completing the required work.
The content is structured so that every module builds off of the techniques and tools learned from previous ones. As students progress through the course, they’ll learn new tools and techniques while strengthening their knowledge of those they’ve already learned. Throughout the program, students learn about network and email security, endpoint incident response, network and endpoint log analytics, digital forensics, and threat intelligence and security operations. In the last four weeks of the course, students are immersed in a virtual Security Operations Center (SOC) environment to provide them with realistic, on-the-job training and experience to make them career-ready.
At the end of the course, students have the opportunity to showcase their skills by earning a Cyber Defense Certified Professional (CDCP) certification. This capstone assignment engages students in a number of real-world security operations scenarios that they must overcome while articulating solutions in a detailed report. Students who earn this certification have demonstrated that they have the knowledge and skills to work within a security operations team and is a great staple for any cybersecurity resume.

I am enrolled in the first ever Level Effect course being taught by the Owners of Level Effect. The instructors not only know the craft at an extremely advanced level, but they teach it very well. I have 0 Cyber Security experience. The only knowledge I have is from 1 networking class I had taken in college, and from reading the security + study guide. I came into this class very nervous not knowing what to expect. And it definitely was very frustrating very fast when very high level concepts are being discussed that I do not understand. It definitely can be enough to make a person want to give up. Cyber Security is not something easy to get into in life, but nothings really easy in life. I stuck through it and after getting through all the mud I have been shown how to find malware. Its only been a month in this class and I have already gained so much information in this class. We are getting into topics that I did not expect to get into until the end of the course. Only makes me excited for whats to come. I've had bad experiences with schools and similar boot camps because not only do they not teach the material very well, they speed through it at the speed of light. Level Effect instructors literally go above and beyond to teach you the information like a teacher should. You could ask the dumbest question and they will go into the most in depth explanation about it to make sure that you understand it. They go above and beyond to make sure the information they are teaching is being received and makes sense. Not only that they definitely show that they care about your success. The instructors are already helping me make my resume to start applying to jobs. Level Effect has promised me that if I am able to pass their certification exam, it proves that I am capable to defend an enterprises network. And having a skill like that is more than enough to help me get my foot in the door to get a job interview. However anything can definitely happen and for all I know maybe I am truly not good enough to pass the final. However The instructors definitely help motivate me to make me think I can do it. Once I have completed this course I will leave a review as to if my thoughts and feelings to this course remain the same. But from the one month I have been in this course, I am glad this was the bootcamp I had decided to take, and it is every bit worth the money.
