Great curriculum that truly develops SKILLS instead of just imparting facts, including two certifications (Security+ and Splunk Fundamentals) and all you need for a third (AWS CCP). Plenty of post-graduation support as well; extended access to the course materials and a job search coach. No hiring partners as of yet, which might be my only complaint, but the coach does a decent job of keeping you efficient and on track as long as you put in the effort. Be ready to dedicate a few hours a day to a successful job search, but with the credentials you have and the networking you'll be building, that first gig will definitely come your way.

The learning environment is very inclusive, it may feel overwhelming at first but once you get to know your instructors and your classmates through the break out rooms it gets a whole lot better. Career prep was also very helpful they were able to help me with my resume/LinkedIn/coverletter/practice interviews and many more. I would recommend to take full advantage of the career prep from the beginning of the course instead of waiting till the end the same for studying for security+ exam. I would also recommend to start networking within the field starting from the beginning of the course instead of waiting till the end of the course. Students are immersed in their learning with daily lectures, followed with lab work with a smaller team. Each module ends with a recap quiz which will be a great help for the final exam. An abundant amount of resources are provided for you to practice with even outside of class or even once completing the academy. The slack groups you will join will also be a great opportunity for during the academy and most importantly once completing the academy and entering the field as they will always be there for you assistance.
