From day one until the moment I passed my exam this month, Pervaish was right by my side. He consistently provided proactive guidance and encouragement, frequently checking in by phone and message to ensure I stayed on track. Even after the boot camp officially ended, his steady support didn't stop. He made sure I had all the necessary instructions and preparation resources for my exam registration.
That kind of continuous dedication made all the difference in my journey.
I also want to give a well-deserved shoutout to Taimoor, the technical coach. What stands out most about Taimoor is his remarkable calm; no matter how complex or challenging my concerns were, he approached them with immense patience and clarity. Since I do not have an IT background, he spent an extensive amount of time with me to ensure I had everything needed to succeed, going above and beyond to leave no question unanswered.
Thank you both for your outstanding professionalism, encouragement, and deep commitment to student success. Your guidance played a pivotal role in my certification, and I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a team that truly invests in their career growth!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

The program helped me develop a strong understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals and provided a clearer understanding of how the field actually works. I liked that the course didn’t just focus on theory, but also introduced tools, real-world projects, and certification paths that people in the same career would use. The instructors were knowledgeable and did a good job explaining topics that can sometimes feel complicated when you're first learning them. I felt like the program gave me a clear direction on what I should study next and how to keep building my skills in cybersecurity. I also want to give a shout-out to my career advisor, Jessica Cavallaro. She was always helpful whenever I had questions about career paths or what steps I should take next. She really helped point me in the right direction and made the process feel less overwhelming. Overall, I would definitely recommend the QuickStart Cybersecurity Bootcamp to anyone looking to get started in cybersecurity or trying to figure out how to enter the field.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

There were no grades, instead we either passed or failed assignments. This made the coursework less stressful and more about learning. The bootcamp came with career services to help find a job upon completion. They were very helpful and gave helpful advice that was easy to apply. There were two career coaches that I had access to: one that specialized in resumes and interviews and a separate coach for everything else. One pitfall is that once I got my resume fully reviewed by the resume coach I was no longer able to schedule meetings with them.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

I was one of those people. Getting into cybersecurity can feel very overwhelming since there are many routes available and that can lead to feeling doubtful with the choice you make. I know I did. I doubted my ability to learn the material as well as the decision on choosing QuickStart to be my beginning point. But within the first weeks that doubt became confidence thanks to the teaching ability of Coach Mike as well as the support coming from my academic advisor Aly Lakhani. They both made it their goal for us to feel heard and dedicated time out of their days to have one-on-one meetings with me. Whenever I had a question or concern to address they were there. A big thank you to all the staff and the students I had the pleasure of sharing this experience with. I can proudly say I got the educational foundation I was looking for as well as a new circle of people I can confide in as I start my journey into cybersecurity.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

From day one, their support, resources, and expert guidance made all the difference. Their well-structured materials transformed cybersecurity from an overwhelming maze of protocols into an exciting puzzle to solve—one that felt achievable, no matter my starting point.
Thanks to their help, I went from feeling like a confused intern staring at a firewall to confidently understanding security concepts. Their comprehensive resources, practice exams, and encouragement kept me motivated every step of the way, making even security protocols surprisingly engaging. Whether I needed clarification on acronyms or reassurance that I wasn’t drowning in technical jargon, they were there.
Now, with my certification in hand, I can proudly say that Quick Start played a crucial role in leveling up my cybersecurity career. If you’re looking for a supportive, knowledgeable team that makes learning accessible and engaging—not an endless lecture hall—I highly recommend them!

The program strikes a great balance between foundational knowledge and hands-on experience, which made even complex topics like IAM, VPCs, and automation feel approachable and exciting to learn.What stood out the most was the structure and pacing—each module builds on the last, helping you connect the dots between theory and practice. I especially appreciated the focus on real-world scenarios, which gave me the confidence to apply what I learned to personal projects and mock business cases, like my evolving TechStart project. For me, the curriculum was too easy, so I didn't feel challenged enough, but if you research on your own and complement required projects with your personal ones, this bootcamp offers the perfect balance of freedom and structure.Overall4.0Curriculum3.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

From our very first meeting, Jessica took the time to truly understand my background, goals, and aspirations, and crafted a personalized plan aligned with my professional vision. A special shoutout to Kevin Abidi, whose support with interview preparation and mock interviews was both helpful and motivating. The QuickStart program and Prentus platform have also been instrumental in my development. Throughout our sessions, Jessica consistently provided thoughtful guidance across all areas—from resume refinement and job search strategies to interview best practices. She delivered actionable feedback, shared valuable resources, and consistently challenged me to think more strategically about my path forward. What stood out most was Jessica’s unique ability to both advise and empower. She didn’t just help me prepare—she inspired me to move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Even outside of our scheduled meetings, she was incredibly proactive, pointing out areas in my profile that could be improved and offering continuous support.

My career background was deeply rooted in Mortgage and underwriting. I took an interest in Cybersecurity late 2022 and it has been my passion every since. In the beginning of the bootcamp, it was challenging. I was not sure if I would be able to grasp it all. Once I learned what my interests and transferable skills were, the lessons and projects were less difficult. I had the opportunity to work with some amazing peers that took the time to work on projects with me.
