Yellow Tail Tech combines online exercises with weekly live sessions, designed to fit each cohort’s schedule. Live sessions are typically held in the evenings to accommodate working professionals.

Students may also enroll in an optional internship program and receive individualized career coaching and mentoring.
Yellow Tail Tech is committed to career success – providing structured training, hands-on experience, and direct support to help students transition into IT roles. To ensure the best outcomes, students must meet specific conditions, including attending all live sessions, completing assignments, and maintaining a minimum score of 70% on all tests.

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 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.
