    Web Dev

    Great program for any beginner in coding. Highly recommended. 

    I was a laid off oil & gas engineer who decided to take a leap into the software industry. After doing my research everywhere, QuickStart best fit my options. 100% online, at your own pace, with assistance as needed, not too expensive. As a student, I felt like I was able to keep myself in a system to where I  was able to learn from the basics and build my way up to more complex languages.

    A great learning experience, very informative.

    Quick Start was a training program that I needed to push me. They never gave up on me, they worked with me so I could understand the terms, practices, and procedures, also how to apply them. They gave me all the tools I needed plus two vouchers after I completed the boot camp. My decision to join Quick Start was a great choice. Before I forget, my instructor is really good, he wasn't one of those who didn't care if you understood, he would ask us questions to make sure we understood. He ...

    Cybersecurity Bootcamp

    QuickStart's cybersecurity program was exactly as its name implied - it was a quick start!  Within the six-month program, I learned advanced security concepts for networks and devices.  I familiarized myself with multiple operating systems, and got to do lots of the cool stuff - hacking!

    I will say that six months simply is not enough time to learn everything.  The knowledge that I got from this program was really enough to learn how much I don't know.  But QuickStart gave me enou...

    Exactly What Was Needed

    All five of my rating categories being 5 stars is for a reason. My personal experience with QuickStart hasn't been a short one because occasionally staff and recruiters will still check up on me (that's impressive because it's been 2 years since I graduated).

    Curriculum: Jam packed curriculum that does contain everything you'll need for tests/exams. Not sure about you, but I'd rather have a boot camp that over informs me on the topic I'm preparing for.

    This boot camp may be relevant to some and others not the best choice

    About me: I am absolutely an optimist and crave inspiration. I am in the construction industry looking to transition into the cyber realm. I have a career plan and I thought this would fast track me into a job with better pay doing work I am most interested in.

    Here is my experience:
    I saw an ad which exclaimed that the average salary of graduating students is $80,000. I was hooked, this is my way to find a bit of financial security and land a job with real potential and growth...

    Dream Job!

    I was contacted about a 26-week Cyber Security boot camp through Quickstart at the University of Texas at Arlington. I was sold and was anxious to start. The first several weeks were more or less a review for me being in IT for the past 7 years, however, when we got into the good stuff oh man it was fantastic. I learned so much in such a short time. I was able to write a Python program to scan ports, and before you knew it I was hacking into systems. It's so much fun and a great place to...

    Great program with solid cybersecurity foundation.

           Hi, my name is Calvin, and I took Cybersecurity Bootcamp online with QuickStart. The 24-week program was offered by QuickStart through the University of Texas at Arlington. My bootcamp mentor was great! We met twice a week in the evening through Zoom and he answered all the questions students had. There were a lot of hand-on virtual labs for me to learn and gain experience, from hardware to software, networking to cybersecurity, and ethical hacking to CySA+. The students were assi...

    Tough, Satisfying, Well-worth

    This bootcamp is a great, hands-on experience for anyone interested in getting into the security field of IT. Do not be fooled though, this is an accelerated program and you WILL have to put the time and effort in. If you decide to go through the program, please do not get discouraged on finding a job. The career counselors will greatly assist you, but I highly recommend you start networking early via friends, family, and LinkedIn. Upon graduating,  I was able to land an IT Technician jo...

    Great Experience!

    I invested considerable time in researching the most suitable course for my career path and ultimately decided on Quickstart. Embarking on the cyber security bootcamp in mid-May, I successfully completed it within the expected timeframe, finishing in late October. My instructor, William Clark, was exceptional. His expertise was consistently on point, and he was always ready to provide additional assistance outside of class when needed.

    Good program

    It is a good program, I loved it, but it is definitely a fast paced program.  I was able to understand and follow the program but towards the end, it did get a bit faster pace. Which I did fell behind.
    The project does help a lot, it teaches you a lot of good tools. I do wish that the program would be guided and driven to learn about the project, but I guess that is the way the program was created to make you think outside the box and get you out of your comfort ...

    Waste of time, and most importantly money

    They try and lure you in with promises of getting you a job once you're done with the course, but they'll never get you one. I get ghosted by my career counselor every day, and you get removed from the "career services" if you don't have any activity in your job search, and with your career counselor ghosting you, you can imagine how quickly you get removed. I made an account on this site just so I could help you out, PLEASE do not give these people your money.

    Amazing work!

    The program went by fast but it was at alot good information. The projects helped understand what I was learning. The job training was good with resume building and having professional look after the resume. Quickstart introduced me to many opportunities and lead me promising career after graduating.

If you're looking for an opportunity to learn at your own pace while still working or taking care of a family, this course would be perfect for you. The courses don't overwhelm you. My coach was wonderful and was always available to answer any questions that I had. The job assistance team was fantastic. They have a wealth of knowledge and resources to get you noticed. I was very fortunate to get hired in just a few month after graduation...
