Hofstra University Continuing Education

The labs are good because of the active nature, but lacking in description. Basically type tracert -d -h 3. What does all that other stuff mean? No clue. you'll figure out later if you self study which is the majority of how this bootcamp operates. They... Read More promised instruction that " will not be death by PowerPoint" (their words) but literally the entire class is that. the lectures are abysmal with horrible audio and bored instructors that sound like they're doing you a favor explaining complicated topics. Once you get to the CEH lectures they are done by EC council which you could just save money and do on your own. I spent about 40-60 hours outside of the course material studying to pass my Network+ exam. Originally what was supposed to take 6 months or be self paced is neither. After firing one of the teachers and moving cohorts around we are now nearing an 8 month course and you cannot access anything unless you wait for the entire class to get to that point. It does allow for time to study on actual valuable things like playing around with Kali or exam practice(Also promised- not part of this). With so many free or cheaper options out there (which i needed to study anyway) to learn this material, I am having serious buyers remorse. This is operated through Quickstart and Im not sure who keeps giving them money. Look it up they just got a huge investment. I guess taking advantage of people who don't know what else is out there pays off! The only actual pros besides the labs and projects are the teachers and people who work for the company are very responsive and helpful. 2 stars is being generous. But all of this could have been done cheaper and in a shorter time frame.

This Bootcamp was by far the most valuable I have ever enrolled in. Every topic was simplified and well explained, providing in-depth information.

My favorite thing about this Bootcamp is the self-paced courses. There was no pressure, and I was able to... Read More go over any problem areas I encountered.

The material and resources provided were beneficial and related to the topics covered. At the end of this Bootcamp, I felt very confident in my knowledge of cybersecurity.

I cannot overemphasize how excellent the tutors were. They offered live mentoring sessions- the first I've ever experienced in online lectures. In all, I was delighted with my experience taking this course, and I will recommend it to anyone interested in cybersecurity.

its a very good remote institution. you just have to teach yourself and able to pressure your self to learn. mentor is great. staffs are also great. they respond to your concern right away. mentor will answer all your question every meeting you have....

This experience was horrible to say the least. The class meetings consumed of wstching slideshow presentations. When i decided to withdraw from program. I was emailed that monthly installments with be frozen and i would not be charged going further. Yet... Read More i have been charged 3 times after that. 2 times being within the same weekend. When i called up to see why. They did not have a valid answer and got transferred aroung multiple people. Then was informed finance department will get back to me within 15-20 mins. They did not call me back, 4 hours later i reached out and finally got someone on financing. By that time i had cancelled my credit card and got a new one. Horrible customwr service. Dont go with this company. I would not recommend this to my worst enemies. The company that handles the online schooling is called Quickstart. If any online courses is associated with them do not use it.
