    Achievable RHCSA path for professionals

    Read more Read less of Eddie Camacho's review
    As a graduate of the Yellowtail Tech program, I can confidently say the experience was exceptional. Even with a degree in Cyber Security and existing certifications like Security+, I found their approach to the RHCSA curriculum to be a game-changer. The instructors were not only knowledgeable but incredibly friendly and accessible. They took the time to break down complex Linux concepts whenever we hit a roadblock, walking with us through every step of the process. They turned what could have been a daunting certification path into something manageable and achievable. I am incredibly grateful for the support and the community they’ve built.

    Read more Read less of Kendra Gates's review

    Hi, my name is Kendra Gates. I’m currently a domestic engineer—which is just a fun way of saying stay-at-home mom—and I’m on my way to becoming a Linux system administrator.


    I found out about YellowTail Tech through a YouTube video and honestly, I just trusted the vibe. I’ve been interested in tech for a long time but never knew how to get into it without going back to college. So when I saw this opportunity, I jumped on it—and it ended up being way better than I expected. The way they explain everything is so simple and clear, even for someone like me with no prior tech background. The instructors are amazing, super patient, and always make sure you get it. I love how structured and beginner-friendly everything is. If you follow the steps, it works—period. I’m finally learning a language computers speak, and I love it!

    From Network Specialist to Linux System Administrator with Yellow Tail Tech

    When I first started, I already had a tech background, but diving into Linux was a whole new challenge. What I really liked about Yellow Tail was how well-structured everything was and how much support was available whenever I needed it. The instructors really knew their stuff, and the student community made the whole experience even better—I wasn’t just learning, I was connecting with people who had the same goals as me. I felt like Yellow Tail Tech prepared me not just to pass exams, but to actually do the job. I left with more confidence, hands-on skills, and a passion for Linux I didn’t expect to find.

    I transitioned from engineering into IT because of my passion for tech, and Yellow Tail Tech made that shift a reality. What I appreciated most was how they really understand what it’s like for people with no IT background. Everything from the instructors to the program materials was set up to make the journey clear and doable, even for beginners. The instructors were super approachable — I always got the help I needed, and the support was there even when my own motivation dropped. I loved how organized everything was; it really felt like they knew what they were doing and where they were leading me. I’d recommend them to anyone ready to make that career change. Just trust the process — it works.

     I was stuck in a collections job when I realized I needed a change. I wanted to be in a field that offered real growth and freedom, and that’s when I found Yellow Tail Tech. The whole experience, from the structured lessons to the hands-on projects, was amazing. Even when I hit roadblocks, I never felt alone. My instructor, George, was there to guide me, and the program’s supportive environment kept me going. The addition of YT Genius, the AI tailored to the Yellow Tail Tech curriculum, was a game-changer, offering real-time guidance and support. I’ve learned so much, and I’m excited to now be on my way to a career in Linux system administration. If you’re thinking about it, don’t hesitate—just dive in!

    The program took me from a total beginner to landing a tech job in less than a year.

    Read more Read less of Pharrah Powell's review

    Before Yellowtail Tech, I was working in post-production, and it was hard to find leads. Tech was something I always wanted to do, but I had no clue how to start. I saw Symone Beez talk about learning Linux, and that stuck with me. I didn’t want some bootcamp that just takes your money, and Yellowtail felt legit — and it was.


    The program took me from a total beginner to landing a tech job in less than a year. The cert prep was intense, and yeah, I failed at first — but I went back, regrouped, and crushed it the second time. The apprenticeship? Not gonna lie, it was hard. But that’s where I learned to apply what I knew. The teachers were patient, especially Dodie, who helped me troubleshoot a ticket for days until we cracked it.


    But the biggest win? The people. I had classmates from all walks of life — parents, folks juggling jobs — and we all helped each other through. Now I’m in my fourth week at Carahsoft, feeling like I belong in tech. I even found a women’s media engineering group on the side, combining my past life in video with my new tech skills. Yellowtail didn’t just teach me Linux — it taught me how to believe in myself again.

    The coursework prepared me for certification

    Read more Read less of Mohammed Keita's review

    I joined Yellow Tail Tech while transitioning out of the military, and it ended up being one of the best decisions I’ve made. I had time to study, and the program gave me everything I needed to move into tech smoothly. The coursework prepared me for certification, and the apprenticeship really showed me what working in an enterprise environment was like. It wasn’t always easy—I dealt with imposter syndrome early on—but over time, I found my rhythm. What helped me push through was the strong Yellow Tail community and leaning on peers going through the same thing. The tickets we worked on during the program helped me a ton in interviews and in my actual job. Even though I applied to a position I didn’t fully qualify for, a recruiter ended up matching me to an even better fit. That’s how I landed my job at MIT Lincoln Lab. So if you’re thinking about switching careers into tech—prepare to sacrifice some time, stay committed, and just go for it. It’s worth it.

    Yellow Tail Tech Helped Me Restart My IT Career After 15 Years Away

    Read more Read less of Alan J Head's review

    I joined Yellow Tail Tech after my brother found it through a friend, and I’m so glad I trusted the process. I wasn’t new to IT, but I’d been out of the industry for over 15 years, and a lot had changed. What stood out right away was the community. The support system—from instructors like George and TAs like Jordan, to the weekly live sessions and resources—is solid. You’re not learning alone. I loved that everything was broken down into digestible content, the cert prep was super thorough, and they never push you into the program. You’re guided into it if it fits your goals. It’s not just about passing a test—it’s about building a career path that actually makes sense. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a real shot at breaking into tech.

    I’m currently a data analyst, and I joined Yellow Tail Tech to pivot into Linux system administration. I already had a tech background, but I still learned so much—especially things I never touched in my day job, like server navigation, mounting, and file systems. The hands-on approach, especially the Red Hat certification prep, was incredibly valuable. It’s not just about theory—you actually know what you’re doing by the end. I passed my cert on the first try.What stood out most was the support system. Even when I had to take a break, the team kept reaching out to get me back on track. That made a huge difference. I genuinely felt like they wanted me to win. The practice exams, the structure, the coaching—it’s all built for people who want to grow without being left behind. If you’re serious about making a real change, this program helps you do just that.

The program offers a full roadmap, from beginner to expert, and the instructors are fantastic. They're industry pros who genuinely want to see you succeed. The material is really relevant and directly aligned with the exam content, so I felt like I was learning exactly what I needed to. Even though the class schedule is at night, it worked really well for me. I honestly feel like this program has made a significant impact on my career, and I’ve gained so much value from it. It’s been an awesome experience, and I’ve made great connections along the way!

    Learning at Yellowtail

    Read more Read less of Michelle Boylan's review

    Before Yellow Tail Tech, I didn’t have a tech background. I was in customer service and then took a break from work due to a medical issue. Coming back, I was ready to build something new. I stumbled into Yellow Tail Tech through a poet I follow, and that led me down a rabbit hole of research—and eventually to enrollment.


    I loved how the learning structure helped me build confidence. Starting with IT and infrastructure gave me context, and when we moved into Linux, things really started to click. Even better, when security came in, I could see how everything connected. It made learning feel intuitive and empowering. The instructors? Super dedicated. They give their time, answer questions patiently, and never make you feel like you're behind—even if you're totally new to tech.


    What’s been really special is how supportive the whole environment is. Whether it's weekend study sessions, Slack group chats, or recorded classes for when life gets busy—you never feel alone. And I love how the program values student voices; we even get YT credits for doing interviews like this (yes, I’m spending mine on a hoodie!).


    If you're on the fence about switching careers or wondering if tech is “too much” for you, trust me—it’s not. I was nervous too, but now I’m certified, confident, and excited for what’s next.

     I didn’t come from a tech background at all—I was actually working as an executive assistant and then in billing when I found Yellow Tail Tech. I had been looking at other schools for about two years, but this one stood out to me. The schedule worked for my life, and when I spoke to Pete, everything just made sense. What really helped me succeed was how supportive the instructors were and the way the program was laid out. Alfred, my main instructor, was so patient—especially when I needed help setting up my environment for the RHCSA exam. The training materials were clear, and I loved that I could go at my own pace after hours and still get support from the Slack community. I even started handwriting notes to help me absorb the content better! Now that I’m in the internship phase, it’s definitely a step up—but I feel prepared, and I know help is just a message away. Yellow Tail Tech really gave me the structure and encouragement I needed to push through.

    When I decided to shift from sales into tech, I knew I needed a solid foundation—and that’s exactly what Yellow Tail Tech gave me. Their Linux program stood out from all the ads I saw online, and after doing my research, I realized they were the real deal. What really made the difference were the instructors. Alfred, my Linux instructor, was hands down one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. He could break things down in different ways depending on how you learn, and he even made time on weekends if we needed extra help. That level of support is rare. The program wasn’t easy, but it was clear, structured, and designed to get you where you need to go. If you’re serious about getting into Linux, I’d recommend them 100%.

    I started my journey with Yellow Tail Tech about six months ago. I previously worked in the Department of Defense and I’m ex-military, so transitioning into tech was a huge leap for me. 
    What sold me was their approach: the instructors are industry professionals who genuinely know their stuff, and that internship program really stood out.
    I came into this with no tech background, but they’ve been so patient and thorough. The instructors break everything down, and you can ask as many questions as you need. It's refreshing, honestly. 
    I’ve gone through a lot of schooling in my life, but I’ve never experienced this level of support before. One challenge I faced was managing my time since I was still working in DOD, but they understood and always made themselves available.
    The course format is solid. They guide you on what’s coming up, and you get to build skills through hands on assignments. 
    For anyone feeling stuck in their current career, I’d say think about where you want to be in 5 or 10 years. This program demands time and effort, but it’s an investment in yourself.

     My experience with Yellow Tail Tech has been wonderful, truly, no complaints. The support has been incredible, and I’ve learned so much. It’s crazy how fast time flew by because we were so busy, but it was an amazing journey. I’m really glad I took this step. Moving into the tech field is helping me achieve a better worklife balance, which was my main goal. I love learning new things, and in tech, you're constantly learning. It’s a good field to be in.
    My instructors have been wonderful as well. They’re always there for us, whether through Messenger or extra Zoom meetings. 
    The networking class was awesome, I never thought I’d be interested in networking, but I really enjoyed it. Ricky, my instructor, broke everything down in a way that you can understand.
    I’m just getting started with the apprenticeship, and it’s so far, so good. I’m working on tickets now, and I think the apprenticeship will allow us to gain access to more tools and improve our troubleshooting skills. It’s not the same as the training, it’s a huge learning curve, but I’m ready for it.

    Yellow Tail Tech's program is not just a learning experience. it's a journey that keeps lifelong connections. I'm still in touch with around a dozen individuals from my cohort, and the bond we formed is just so awesome, sometimes we meet up face to face when we have time, but only with those near in our area. Our class sessions took place twice a week, getting us in the world of Linux. The class days were a mix of individual review and collaborative exploration with our incredible cohort and classmates. This IT Training program spanned eight months of intense learning, followed by an apprenticeship that added to our experience. In total, it amounted to about year of personal and professional growth. Even after completing the program, I continue to stay connected with my Yellow Tail Tech family.

    I've had the pleasure of being taught by two amazing instructors so far. Ricky, although it was a short period, left a cool impression on me. However, it was David who truly stole the show. His outgoing personality made the class an absolute blast. Learning from him was like starting on a fun-filled adventure. Now, we've just entered the world of Cloud for Jobs, and Santiago is our guide. While I haven't had much experience with him as an instructor yet, he gives off a more serious vibe. It's fascinating to have both approaches, as each instructor has their unique teaching style. What truly impresses me is the exeptional quality of the instructors at Yellow Tail Tech. They are not only knowledgeable but also actively working in their respective fields with relevant certifications. It's simply awe inspiring to have instructors who are not just educators but professionals who bring real-world experience to the classroom.

    I've had an amazing IT learning experience at Yellow Tail Tech. Righ from the start they gave us this online portal that plays a big role in the learning journey. It's like our go-to hub for assignments and resources that match our progress and what we've covered in class. It's super helpful because it covers a lot of things and questions and videos as resource.  They help us understand the concepts and apply them in different situations. It's been a game-changer for me. They explain things in a way that's easy to follow and remember. Whenever I need a quick review or want to explore a topic in more detail, the videos are accessible. Yellow Tail Tech also gives as extra resources to satisfy our curiosity. If we want to dig deeper into a subject, we can. They've got additional stuff for us to explore beyond the regular lessons. If you're looking for a tech education that's engaging and gives you the freedom to explore, Yellow Tail Tech is where it's at.

    What I value the most is how Yellow Tail Tech caters to all types of learners, including individuals like me with no prior tech background. They patiently guide you through the fundamentals, ensuring a strong foundation. For those with some tech knowledge, they address any doubts or limitations, leaving no question unanswered. There was a moment during our discussion about operating systems and system software. I used to think they were the same, but now understand their differences, and it was truly eye-opening. Yellow Tail Tech's courses can be challenging, and success requires determination, effort, and commitment. This commitment doesn't end when the course is over, you'll need to put effort into exams and job hunting as well. Yellow Tail Tech provides a supportive learning environment, but success ultimately depends on your dedication and continued effort, even after completing the course.

    I really like the cloud for jobs program at Yellow Tail Tech, especially the instructors. They have a strong connection with the students because some of them were students themselves at Yellow Tail Tech. In every class, it feels like we're just hanging out with friends rather than attending a formal lecture. The instructors take their time to help us and dedicate extra hours to support us. They offer weekly and weekend sessions, giving us all the resources we need.I'm very happy with the course and enjoy it a lot. It's not a boring lecture, it's an interactive and exciting experience.

    Allan, our instructor at Yellow Tail Tech is incredibly knowledgeable about Linux Red Hat. When he talks and shows us how to work with the system, it's like seeing the future. It's inspiring to know he was once in our shoes. He's always ready to answer our questions, even though he has a lot of students. He's quick to respond on Slack too. Seeing past and present students succeed on the general channel is really encouraging. It shows that everyone at Yellow Tail Tech is committed to helping us reach our goals and get certified. Our main goal is to become Cloud for Jobs or Linux system administrators. I believe the Yellow Tail Tech community is dedicated to supporting and pushing each student to do their best. They give us the guidance and help we need to succeed. The instructors' commitment and the students' achievements remind us that we're on the right path.

    I want to express my appreciation to Jubee, one of the co-founders of Yellow Tail Tech. Jubee's role in creating the program is comendable. His vision and leadership have brought countless individuals into the world of IT, creating opportunities for families to earn a sustainable living. I can say without a doubt that without Jubee, I wouldn't be a part of this incredible team. Discovering his videos on YouTube was a turning point for me. They not only expanded my understanding about Cloud but also instilled a belief in the potential of IT. When you come across the name Jubee, watch his videos. They are a treasure of knowledge and inspiration.

    I can't believe how much I've accomplished in just three months at Yellow Tail Tech. I feel fully prepared to take on the certification exam in Linux. There's nothing in the world of Linux that I can't handle because I know where to find resources and get the assistance I need. I've learned how to ask the right questions and communicate effectively in the IT language. It's truly incredible what can be achieved in such a short time. The instructors at Yellow Tail Tech are true professionals. Riky, in particular, is an execptional teacher. He always has a smile on his face but delivers the content with utmost sincerity. In the IT infrustructure aspect, Riky's expertise shines. He has a deep understanding of subnetting, and his classes on building and connecting routers to servers were particularly captivating. Yellow Tail Tech has truly transformed my IT skills. I now feel confident in IT infrastructure, thanks to Riky and the comprehensive program.
