James Madison University Professional & Continuing Education

I really like my instructor. He is very knowledgeable and genuinely wants you to succeed. My only complaint is that this is not really a "go at your own pace" kind of boot camp like they advertise. Its as you go but once you get into projects, if you... Read More are 3 topics behind you still have to do the project at the time everyone else is and you have no idea what you are doing a project on. This happened to me and I was able to move into a different Cohort to catch up thankfully but I feel like that could have been better explained when I signed up.

This is an immersive six-month bootcamp that is far more thorough and in-depth than the others I looked at. Furthermore, what also sets it apart from the rest is the outstanding emphasis on gearing all the assignments using real-world scenarios for applying... Read More for jobs and producing quality cybersecurity reports and presentations. I got a job as a level I cybersecurity tech soon after graduation and felt comfortable in my new my role right away. The instructor was excellent and went out of his way to relate our lessons to actual real life experience. If you're willing to work hard and commit to this program, it can be a life-changing experience, going from a dead-end job (or no job due to COVID) to a career with great job security.

The benefits of doing this is that it will help you open more doors as to what is right for you because IT by itself is vague. The Master Bootcamp is beneficial with providing the necessary information needed for any certification. The downside is that... Read More there is a lot of information so utilizing other sources is a must depending on one's learning style.

Coming into this program with minimal knowledge of much of the content, I have found that although often challenging, the format of the course and the instruction provided allowed for a smooth and comfortable class environment. The projects remained interesting... Read More and allowed you to be creative while exploring multiple ways to come to a common solution. An important aspect of this program is that I have been able to keep pace with the course work while also working full time, and with the help of the instructor and career services I have also received help getting my foot in the door of this Data Science field.

The course curriculum is loaded. It helped me digest each topic as they come. Outside the normal classes, there was also interview preparation, which helped me get three callbacks, including my current position. The course doesn't offer too much in terms... Read More of machine learning. You'll need to get further training or materials from external sources if you plan on knowing more about ML.
But asides from that, the course teaches just what you need to know. The tutors took their time to explain most of the concepts, and you can ask for help directly if need be.

Well, for me, you could say I got into cloud computing by accident. I was interested in blockchain technology, but my friend told me I should consider cloud engineering. I gave it a thought, but I didn't know where to start. It seemed like a massive task.... Read More

There were a few programs offering lessons for beginners( and it was costly). I didn't give up. I started looking for cloud computing courses that were valuable and also less expensive. I'm glad to say that this course came at the right time.

I loved the lessons, and my tutors helped me along the way. I also find this program very flexible with my work schedule. It feels great to be a certified cloud architect with a growing portfolio.

This Bootcamp is the ideal starting point for anyone who like me is new to data science. The classes started right from the beginning and would help you build a strong foundation. The course was designed very well. I’m not so much of a fast learner, so... Read More the simple explanations and the ability to take it at my own pace helped with my progression. Now, I can work with Python, R, and Power BI, I also have great insight in machine learning and will continue to work on my skills. I have no complaint at all about this course. I think the money and time spent is worth the value I’ve gained.
