"Switched career gears in record time"
My experience was very good. Evolve Security Academy will make sure that you feel supported in learning. While there is a dearth of material on cyber security found online, ESA shielded me from doubt and discouragement while digging through it all. The... Read More

"Life Changing Experience"
As a cybersecurity boot camp, this program is great. But Evolve Security Academy is so much more. This program is fast-paced, in-depth, and thorough. It covers cybersecurity in its entirety; from legal and policy to gaining experience with pen-testing... Read More
As a high-school student, this very well changed my life. Just two months after having begun the program I got an internship in cybersecurity at a global management consulting firm. I was pleased to see that a lot of what I was learning at Evolve applied here. This program also inspired me to help bring cybersecurity awareness to my high-school through CyberPatriot.

"Strong Proponent of Evolve Security!"
I’d highly recommend Evolve Security Academy to anyone who would like to build a solid foundation of Cybersecurity skills. I came into the program with a lightweight understanding of several Cybersecurity topics seeking to bolster my technical acumen.... Read More
The class is faced paced, challenging, and extremely rewarding. Learning theory is great, but this program allows you to gain hands-on real world experience through security assessment work as well as labs that expose you to several open source and commercial tools - Tenable, Splunk, Metasploit, Nmap, etc...
After the 17 weeks I was able to take on a more technical role along with my current role in sales making myself more marketable and valuable in the industry.

"Career changing experience"
My experience at Evolve Academy was both gratifying and rewarding. I signed up and started the process of getting into the program 4 months prior to the actual start date and every step along the way the administration was there to help make the process... Read More

"A very fast paced and intensive program."
The pros are how you deep you will dive into the concepts related to security. It is fast paced so you want to make sure you can keep up and keep outside distractions to a minimum because this can detract from you learning the material. Also make sure... Read More

"Life changing experience in my career"
Being part of the evolve Academy was a life changing experience in my career. I have been working in IT since 1992, I'm proficient at networking and Windows' servers, but this was a whole new level. I had my Comptia Security Plus before the boot camp,... Read More

"Worth It"
As a former stay-at-home dad re-entering IT after 5 years, I needed a program that would get me up to speed fast. I was considering a coding bootcamp when I found Evolve Security Academy. After speaking with a graduate of the program (now a co-worker!)... Read More
When you demonstrate an ability to voluntarily leave the workforce, companies just plain don't want to give you a job. Evolve Security Academy gave me the cybersecurity training and job placement support I needed to get a great position I NEVER could have gotten otherwise. Evolve's program provided intense immersion into all facets of IT security with opportunities to deep dive on specific projects and continuing post-class learning and career support. The best learning experience of my life, hands-down.
As with any bootcamp program, be prepared for intense work. You'll need the ability to quickly pick up technical concepts and have a problem-solving mindset or it's going to be rough. And if you have those things? It's STILL going to be rough. But it'll be worth it.

"Life Changing"
As someone who started at Evolve with about as little experience in the field as possible, I can not preach how fulfilling this journey was. The instructors were amazing and the staff was supportive from start to finish. The coursework and classes are... Read More
