The flagship Cybersecurity Bootcamp takes career changers from foundations to job-ready
through live, instructor-led classes, hands-on CyberLab™ simulations, and an AI module.
Students gain real work experience by performing a live security assessment for a nonprofit
organization. Graduates earn the Evolve Security Certified Professional (ESCP) certification,
receive a CompTIA Security+ voucher, and get dedicated career coaching to help them land their
first cybersecurity role. The Cybersecurity Bootcamp is also backed by Evolve’s Job Offer
Commitment.
Evolve also offers specialized bootcamps for learners ready to go further. The CyberCore
Bootcamp is a 12-week program from Evolve Security Academy built for career changers with
no prior IT or cybersecurity experience. The OSCP and OSWE Bootcamps prepare students for
OffSec’s penetration testing and web application exploitation certifications. The CND + CEH
Bootcamp, offered in partnership with EC-Council University, covers network defense and
ethical hacking and prepares students for three EC-Council certifications: C|ND, E|CIH, and
CEH.
Small cohorts, individual attention, and a strong alumni network set Evolve apart. Visit our
website to learn more and apply.
