SecureSet Academy

Working hands on with some of the best minds in the industry, versatile , deep technical curriculum rounded of with a friendly staffing group keeping everything together. Recommended for anyone with in intrest

This school is well rounded with academia and hands on training. Instructors are willing to work one on one as well as having classmate group sessions. I do recommend you practice python on your own if you do not have any programming experience.

The skill set I gained from secure set was phenomenal. The teachers are extremely inelegant and want to see you learn and succeed. The curriculum takes you from beginner and gives you a great foundation to build on no matter what field you choose to move into afterwards.

The HUNT Analyst program at SecureSet exceeded my expectations. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and make the long hours go by quickly! It’s a great program for someone wanting to transition from another field into cyber security, like I was. It is a lot of hard work with many exhausting hours spent learning & studying inside and outside of the classroom, so it helps if you’ve already been to college because you probably already have the work ethic that it takes to succeed in the program. I also really appreciate the support staff (Patty & Scott) who encourage everyone to network and start the job search early. It paid off for me! I was offered a great position in cyber security before I even graduated!

The instructors that were at Secureset we’re some of the best in the field and provided top notch instruction.

Great environment for learning and enough opportunities for networking and getting to know others in the field were ample.

The curriculum could use a little work aligning the modules from one course to another. This was being worked as we were graduating and I am hopeful that Dr. Borders will do his best and get the curriculum where it needs to be.

The instructors were very knowledgeable, the support staff were engaged with the students on a regular basis. The curriculum could use some changes, but those in charge seem open to suggestions. This course prepares you for taking those next steps to becoming a cyber security professional.

Better off attending university

I attended Secure Set Cyber Academy from January to June of 2018. Originally, my intention was to get a general exposure to cyber theory and threat to add to my analyst experience. However, after receiving the hands on experience with the Secureset instructors, I realized I had sold the capabilities of the education experience short. Bit by bit I was noticing that cyber job requirements and descriptions online were more tangibly attainable and that if asked questions in a professional interview, I would be confident in my ability to provide a professional and technical answer. The combination of outstanding career services and technical education has allowed me to plot out a path to a successful future in Cyber Security.

When a career in the military is being cut short, there is no telling what the future would hold. I was at a loss of what I would do next when I became a free man. SecureSet gave me not only the technical background but also the skills to interview and obtaining a career. The program was really fast paced and I often found myself falling behind or not understanding something. The staff were always willing to assist when needed. Without this program, I may not have been able to do well when interviewing with Amazon. I was able to secure an awesome opportunity with so much room for growth. At this point of my life, I feel like I am where I need to be.

I loved my teachers and how they cared so much for my success. They loved answering questions and they still keep up with me after graduation. Every time I tell someone I went to Secure Set they get super excited to ask me questions about the program. I created a bond that is unbreakable and I’m so glad I made a career change.

SecureSet does a fantastic job of providing students with a wealth of relevant knowledge in regard to the career field of Cyber Security. The course is demanding, and is definitely not for everyone. Much of the instruction provided throughout the course serves as a mere starting point for learning. Additional research and practical implementation is required on the Students behalf to ensure full understanding.

The instructors are more than knowledgeable, and really give you the feeling that they are there for you and your learning. The course provides you with the opportunity to truly build a large, useful network of professionals that can help guide you towards your new career. The SecureSet experience does not end at the conclusion of the course. Instructors remain availabl...

My time spend with SecureSet Academy was incredibly fun and was extremely wide reaching in covered topics. Covering the basics such as how to navigate the Linux command line to studying advanced security topics such as the principals of cryptography are only a small sample of what was covered during my time there. I am currently looking for work having completed the program and the school continues to assist in any way they can in obtaining that first job. I have a few prospects as a result of the efforts put forward by the school and am working through the interview process with these companies now.

During my 3 months at SecureSet Academy, I gained knowledge so valuable that there is no way that I could have got the position I did. Through coursework and labs, I got the technical knowledge and learned soft skills necessary to get my dream job. I am so thankful I chose SecureSet

pros- it worked. i used the people i met here to get me contacts needed to get a good job. can't argue with that. most teachers are good, and i do believe they want the best for you. you will learn a lot.

cons- it will feel like it never works. they grow too quickly and you pay a lot of money to feel like they are just focusing on the next cohort. It feels like you won't ever get a job. Dont believe the hype that you'll leave with a good job offer, because you might not. Sometimes felt like the biggest problem was logistics, classes that had no show teachers, classes that covered the same topic as a different teacher, lack of labs. The job support was not as good as I thought it would be, but again that felt like a logistic problem. the more students they get the less time t...

From my initial research of the program through to my graduation day, I am thoroughly satisfied with the education and services I received at SecureSet Academy. It's still a new program so there are a few kinks and bugs they need to work out in terms of curriculum and scheduling, but with that said, the staff has a growth mindset and they are fully invested in the success of their students.

Mid way through my course, a dedicated career counselor was hired. This gave my job seeking activities a much needed shot of adrenaline. In fact, the position I accepted after graduation is a direct result of a career interview day that the newly hired counselor organized!

With this in mind, I must say that you, the individual, must take ownership of your results from this program. A job o...

Disappointing. The best asset Secure|Set has in Denver is Scott Bowman. He truly works his a** off for the students. I can't say that about any of the others. The class content REQUIRED smaller breakouts. The HUNT program had 1 instructor for 30 students. The acoustics were horrible and the instructors did not seem to mind some students talking while the instructor was teaching. This was distracting, but the instructors kept speaking without reprimanding the distracting students. THE CLASS WAS TOO BIG for the technical concepts we were attempting (and handsomely paying) to learn. Yet, TWO of the students usually distracting the class were still recognized for class awards by the academy upon graduation. Let's reward the people that continually contribute to a negative learning...

SecureSet Academy is an exceptional boot camp with an attentive Staff, quality Facilities, pro-active and engaging Career Counselor, and knowledgeable, industry proven, cyber-security Instructors. SecureSet Academy provides hands-on labs and classroom instruction of cyber-related skills for a real-world, operational environment. The 12-week Cyber Hunt Analyst Course enabled me to easily transition to a high-demand cyber career field with minimal downtime in employment.

My experience at SecureSet Academy was phenomenal. Even though I entered with only limited IT experience, SecureSet thoroughly provided me with the tools and training I needed to jumpstart a career in Cyber Security. The full-time program is highly intense and challenging, packing a year's worth of accredited material into six months. It is the real deal.

Each of the teachers were venerable experts in their respective fields; individuals who are industry leaders even outside their roles as teachers at SecureSet Academy. The school provided the training I needed to conquer industry-recognized certification exams, including the Security+ and CISSP, both of which I successfully passed on the first try. They also have ongoing hiring partnerships with companies both locally and ...
