Washington University in St. Louis Tech Bootcamps by Springboard

After working in the non-profit sector for over a decade, I was considering a career switch. The only area that appealed to me was cybersecurity even though I am a novice when it comes to computers. However, my limited knowledge of computers did not deter me from pursuing my quest in cybersecurity. I was determined to learn new and valuable skills to get into the cybersecurity space with the hopes of carving a new career path.

I chose the Washington University in Saint Louis Bootcamp because I live in Saint Louis and also because of the good reviews they have.
I am currently in the middle of my program. I wasn't sure I could get this far but for the enormous support and quality of delivery from my instructor, I am determined to graduate. The instructor is very knowledgeable in the course and provides every student with the needed attention. From where I started, with no experience in scripting and coding, I have learned a lot of skills. My favorite aspects of the program are Linux command line, Windows Administration, Networking, and cloud computing. I also appreciate the career guidance and assistance the program offers.

My Advice for prospective students: be determined and come prepared. Take every class and module seriously as they are very linked. The pre-work assignments are very important leading into the program. Be open-minded and participate in class.
