Evolve Security Academy was the best option I researched for getting into the Cybersecurity world using my veteran’s GI Bill benefits. Throughout the whole cohort you are given ample amount of time and assistance to learn and grow. My cohort was split... Read More into 4 separate groups to make it easier to learn with a Teacher Assistance leading each group. My TA was amazing and provided so much relevant information as she was once a student through Evolve and now is working as a Cybersecurity Analyst for a Cybersecurity Firm. This bootcamp is a lot of fun, but you must be prepared to sacrifice some of your personal time to grow. As for the veteran aspect I couldn’t praise Evolve Security Academy enough! Our cohort was online for 20 weeks that was supposed to be guaranteed paid by the VA GI Bill. The VA decided to stop funding online classes that were meant to be in person in July 2022. Evolve Security Academy tried resolving this issue with the VA but the VA didn’t budge. Evolve Security Academy helped us veterans in the cohort and did not charge us for this incident and ate the cost for the rest of our time. This was such a class act and I can’t say enough praise worthy things about how this was handled by Evolve Security Academy.
