    Good experience

    You learn a lot from your instructors but asking questions is a good way to learn more then the course material. Also, whatever the recommendation is for your computer specs get something a bit better it will help you a lot! I had to buy an emergency hard-drive from filling my 1tb. And ram seems like it's on short supply when your running two vms. It just saves you a headache if you get 32gb ram and like 2tb or more of storage. I hope that helps and I wish you all the luck on your journe...

    Post Graduation review

    Good curriculum that gives you a brief introduction full of all the various topics cybersecurity has to cover. It may be to fast paced & overwhelming for someone brand new into the field without prior experience or knowledge, but there are helpful resources that is provided by UCF. As a novice, it was a good stepping stone into the field. One must study offline from UCF's curriculum & any other resource(s) you can to use to gain the understanding as fast as possible within before...

    A Moderate, but knowledgable experience

    The overall bootcamp was full of useful curriculum that will definitely help anybody dip their toes into the field of cybersecurity. However, it felt like most content was rushed as some instances we needed to spend more time on one aspect of content but due to scheduling we had to keep going and some of the labs were outdated and full of errors. I can for sure say all the professors were incredible and you have multiple opportunities to meet with people working in cybersecurity while bu...

    My experience overall was good

    This is a good program to take specially with so many good instructors. The only down side I founded was the counselor I was assigned told me to apply to a private company called Sallie Mae for a student loan but their interest rate was extremely high so I’m still having a hard time to pay my debt. I guarantee if you put the time, effort, and dedication you will become an expert in the field through this program but I suggest you before choosing any company to pay for your tuition, to lo...

    Overpriced and lacks depth

    The curriculum of the UCF Cyber Defense Professional Certificate program ranges over many interrelated topics and disciplines spanning a 10-month learning period. This may sound rigorous and worthwhile, however, in my experience, the curriculum lacked depth and the bar was set far too low for students to "succeed" in the program. While many students in my cohort graduated from the program, few, if any, were prepared to enter the workforce or even to attain industry certifications.

    Only good with right instructors

    Started the boot camp and was super excited. Most of the course work was super informational. Until we had a bad teacher, he skipped over the first 3 lessons and ruined an entire section for the entire cohort. After that we were playing catch up on the information that we missed for the rest of the class. Keep on the course work and you can learn a lot. Overall it would be worth it if it was $10,000 or less not over $15,000

    Exceptional Course

    This boot camp is what you make of it. If you want to be successful you will put in the work. If you don't put in the work you will get nothing out of this program. For example if you don't practice the information you learn, it will be hard to pass the test and even harder to complete the final project. This program is great, it has started me down the path for a great career and I would recommend it.

    Educational and Informative but Expensive

    I took the course during the pandemic, after being laid off, as I have always been drawn to this this field. Coming from a 20 year career in Sports, I was a novice with cybersecurity. My overall experience with the program was good. The instructors were some of the best. I am still in communication with some to today. Most are connected on LinkedIN. 

    The curriculum could have been different to better prepare students for real world applications, scenarios, and the consultant indus...
