Yellow Tail Tech

The best thing about the program format at Yellow Tail Tech is that they have a lot of resources. They only pull the resources that you need to understand versus going out and researching unnecessary information. I think they did a really good job on... Read More focusing on what's the most important thing you need to get out of this whole program. Like I said, they're very organized. I'm enjoying the program so much. I feel like the classmates I have are very engaged, and I have an instructor that's engaged, and I have no issues with it, so I'm good. I highly recommend Yellow Tail Tech to anybody. Anybody that's really interested in pursuing a different career change, that's willing to put in the work, I'd definitely recommend Yellow Tail Tech.

I'm enjoying my classes at Yellow Tail Tech a lot. I was the first two or three people to take the exam right after, before graduation. So we could have our certificate by graduation. I was ready. I think I’ve said this before that this is my last resort,... Read More but I’m going to make this last resort work. So I've been all gas, no brakes on it. I'm already in the internship and technically our first full meeting is today, but I already did a ticket. So I'm already full steam ahead. This is the part I'm really looking forward to now, is the internship to getting the real job like task in. The instructors know the material that they're teaching, the things that we're going through, which are the same things they just did not as long ago, as well. The instructors are very helpful. We set up additional study programs or classes with the classmates and other instructors as well there. Everybody's very responsive, via the slack messages, or even during class, you have a question, raise your hand. They're very attentive to getting that answered in a prompt time. The cert prep at Yellow Tail Tech really helped a lot. The questions that I got during the exam were similar to the ones they were preparing me for. It’s not exactly the same but it’s close. If you can make it through any practice exams, you're more than prepared for what would be on the Cert exam, for sure. I was surprised at how close the practice tests were to the actual exam. I would very much recommend Yellow Tail Tech, actually, I already did to some people. I've had a few people already asking me about the program and how they can get started. I think they already scheduled their career strategy sessions.

About 5 years ago, I was introduced to Linux by Thierry and that’s where I met Jubee. I was intrigued by the conversations they were having. They then explained it to me. I love the flexibility it has. With this fast-growing technology, you’re able to... Read More make plenty of money and grow with many companies. Since I don’t have to have a technology background; they are able to teach me everything. I said, hey, why not? Then 3 years later, i joined Yellow Tail Tech to learn more about Linux. So far, it has been great. I loved everything about it. Very easy to learn and manageable. Allan, was my instructor. He was very direct and thorough. Explained everything as easy as you can understand. I also had Thierry who is also really great. Whenever you need any information, he’s also really good at explaining whatever you need in this program. They are great presenting all the info about the program. The program structure is wonderful. It is well structured which helps you better understand the steps. Even without a technology background, it’s easy to understand. And if you don’t understand something while doing the assignments, when you go to class, they will begin with reviewing what was learned in previous class session or directly with the assignment answered by students and where we were all able to ask questions. Overall, I really enjoyed it. It was really fun to me, because it’s something new and I loved the set up and how you were able to be in the comfort of your home. I really liked it.

I’m already in the IT industry working for a software development company but I wanted to be a subject-matter expert in a specific field and that’s why I joined Yellow Tail Tech. The thing that stood out for me with Yellow Tail Tech specifically was the... Read More notion of they teach you depth instead of width. I feel like at my old job, I got caught into a situation where I was a jack of all trades, but I really wasn’t an expert in any one particular thing. And I felt like Yellow Tail Tech kind of offered that. They focused on a specific path and they really kind of trained you to be an expert in that one particular area and that was really appealing to me. So far it’s been a good experience and I’m still kind of in the beginning of the journey. It’s only been three months but I’ve gotten into the groove of you do the classes at night and then practice during the day. I find the instructors have been great. So, if you have questions they’re always ready to answer through Slack or in the class. So far, I’m happy. I feel like I’ve already learned a lot about Linux, it’s what we’re working on now. It’s night and day from where I started. I’ve been working with Zee right now. He’s our instructor. I really enjoy his classes. Instead of a lecture, it’s kind of an interactive thing where there’s a little bit of lecture and he kind of walks you through what the topic of the day is, but then there’s always that back and forth where you can ask questions, which is great. And Jimmy also is in that class and he does the weekend sessions and I feel like they’re always ready to answer questions. They’re always available. It’s been a good experience with them. They lay it out beforehand exactly what you’re going to be doing, what topics and in what order, and then there’s videos to go through before the class or after. The instructors give their experiences of what they kind of go through on the job, which is great. So, I feel like I know exactly what I’m supposed to be learning, which is good. And then the instructors go over that in the classes and then we have the chance to practice on our own and then come up with deeper questions. I feel like what I’m learning in the class is what I should be learning to kind of take that next step into AWS is which the program that I’m in. So far I enjoy it. I’ve always had the thing where I like to learn new stuff anyway, the new technologies and this is all kind of new to me. So, I’m enjoying the fact that I’m learning this stuff and I think I’m going to be able to apply it in a future career, which is great. I would recommend it to anybody who’s interested in this kind of career. It’s not easy. It has to be something you want. If you have to put the time in, there’s no magic to it. You have to want it. The more you put in, the more you’re going to get out kind of thing, but for anybody who’s willing to put in the work and wants to kind of change their career, I would highly recommend it.

I would recommend this program a hundred percent. Currently, I’m doing access control, which is installing key pads, facial recognition devices, cameras, door locks and key pads, which now that I got into it, I learned how to program. And I got really... Read More interested in Yellow Tail Tech because I want to further my education so I can move on to not doing labor anymore, but doing more technical IT stuff. My experience has been good. Every day that I learn, I get really excited. The instructors that I’ve had have always been really attentive. They’ve always put a lot of their time to make sure that you understand it; at least understand what they’re trying to explain and how everything works, starting from point A to point B. And then they show you how; hands-on; how it all comes together, at the end. There is a lot of materials available online and the program, it’s an amazing program. To me, it’s one of the first times I’ve been able to say that I’m actually learning something new. I never thought I had to take so many notes, but it is something that, if you love IT, it’ll get you so, so into it that, even when you go to sleep, you’re thinking about it. So it’s been hard, but it’s been very educational. It’s like a puzzle. When you try to solve the puzzle. That’s what this is. I’m really enjoying the program. We’re at the end of the program, so it gives me a lot more pressure but I’m really excited. I would recommend this program a hundred percent. I’ve already recommended it to one of my nephews, and I’m just waiting for him to sign on, because I told him it’s a good way to learn new things. The professors are very patient to teach you. And what I realize is, there’s not a stupid question, even though sometimes they sound stupid. But they don’t make you feel stupid.

Before I got into Yellow Tail Tech, I was working for Amazon as a delivery driver. Though, before I came to USA, I had a bachelor in mass communication, and was working in a radio station. Out of passion, I want to change into IT. I stumbled upon Yellow... Read More Tail Tech on Instagram. I tried to explore it a little, and from my finding, it is legit.” I went on Google, I searched Yellow Tail Tech and I saw a lot of good reviews. They were actually mind-blowing. About the instructors, David is my instructor, and he is doing a pretty good job. He’s an awesome instructor, I would say. He’s always on top of the game. I’ve been out of class due some to tragedy in family for the past few months, but I’m really trying to catch up and I’m almost there thanks to the well-structured courses materials. There are always recorded video for each class. I am very happy, because with the recorded videos downloaded and saved on my drive. I am rest assured to catch up with my missing sessions. I also have all the materials for each modules available. I can easily go through them to catch up. And also, there’s one thing that also help us a lot are those extra resources attached to the modules. For people like me who are going through some personal problems, the recorded sessions give me courage to continue the course. I can practice on my own, do that over and over, according to David, "100,000 times." Our classes are always interactive and there are people that are on the field already who are very helpful as well. I believe everybody contributes a lot each time we have class. Thank you, Yellowtail Tech.

I was trained as an engineer, but when I came to United States, I had to make a few sacrifices because I couldn’t just get on board as an engineer without doing a couple of exams and some certifications. So, I elected to make a career change that will... Read More be as transparent as possible yet adding a positive dimension to my lifestyle. I’m taking this IT path because while I was working as an engineer, my affiliation and ability was IT-related. For so many years, I saw myself as a database administrator, but every time I tried to step forward, I’ve always felt I wasn’t sufficiently prepared until I saw Jubee. And as a matter of fact, I was looking at a couple of options, but when I saw Jubee, I said, “Okay, this is it.” Because you just have that gut feeling that this is the right thing. And so far, it’s been right on top. It’s been very good. With my training so far, I like the format. I like the training structure. Unlike many other places where it is self-paced, where you can just go in and out at your own time, I believe those have a lot of disadvantages because life gets in the way, it's so easy to postpone. But since you have a cohort appointment you have a commitment plus you don’t even have too many classes a week, you get ample time to review and absorb what you learnt between training sessions. I like the way it is done. I like the fact that we have the recorded sessions. I can always go back and watch, digest and embrace what was reinforced in the classes. As it seems right now, we have an excellent, world class instructor, David Baker, who makes every class enjoyable for us. He’s always available. He is doing a great job and practically inspiring and he’s very, very patient, too. I would rate it 11 over 10. I’m at the point right now, where because of how much I like the program, I’m like an ambassador for Yellow Tail Tech because I’m telling people about this program. I have a couple of people I have in mind already that, as a matter of fact, there’s somebody I plan to pay for his tuition. Because I believe in the program so much, I believe he’s going to be successful. I believe he’s going to love this program.

My Yellow Tail Tech experience have been really great so far. I don't want to say it's easy because you still have to put in the work but the modules are self-explanatory. The assignments we get are very helpful, there are so many available instructors... Read More who are always willing to help you anytime. It's amazing how they are always there for us. My classmates are very generous as well. I just keep learning every single day and I can't believe I'm close to completing it. The resources that they provide are abundant. You don't even need any external source, Yellow Tail Tech will provide everything you need. The program is very easy to understand. They use plain language because most of us don't have technical background yet. It's very simple and straight-forward. I'm very much enjoying it. I'm doing things I thought I could never do and I hope more students can try it too.

The instructors, David, particularly is an amazing teacher.. One thing I like about him is his energy. Whenever he explains something, you don't get confused. So it's pretty straightforward. In terms of the course material that they covered, that was... Read More pretty good and clear. I just need to complete some of the materials and whenever I have a question, I just reach out to our Instructors and he's just always there in Slack. He just instantly gives back and responds and helps out with the question, any clarification or doubts or anything, he's always there. So, it's been good with instructors so far. And also with some of the technical stuff, like, setting up the machine in the beginning and the setting up the accounts, Ricky and other members are also very prompt in addressing the issues and resolving them right away. The structure is really good for working professionals or anybody who's working in daytime, so you can have classes in the evening. Our instructor, David, also goes the extra mile as he does Saturday, Sundays for anybody who needs assistance and extra review. There's also options for Saturday and Sunday as well. So in terms of the way the course material is being scheduled and managed, it's pretty great so far. No complaints. The main reason I chose Yellow Tail Tech over other programs, or institutions, organizations out there is because they had one-on-one instructors or a mentor who already has that certification, who already is doing the work. It's a really open learning environment that's very supportive as well. So that's one of the main reasons I have found Yellow tail tech to be attractive in the sense of community. It was not just like, enroll in the course, you learn on your own, see you later. People are there for us, live, every day. If you have any questions, everybody's like there for you, you know? So that sense of community and program of Yellow tail tech, I really liked and I'm enjoying right now as well.

Graduating from school is different from actually having a field experience. And this is something that was lacking in me. So I go online and try to dig deep into experience in things that people are doing on the field. And I realized that I needed a... Read More mentor, and that's how I came to Yellow Tail Tech. So there's quite much that I'm getting from Yellow Tail Tech as compared to reading books and watching videos. The structure is pretty, pretty decent. This structure is actually structured so much that you cannot take Linux from the basic, all the way to the higher level of Linux. I have done Linux, like touching commands here and there and doing all the stuff, but I think the program is actually great in such a way that you actually start from the base, all the way to the top. And I bet you, I follow it much better because I have done a little bit of Linux at the beginner level, and I can now see my mistakes. I can see things that I liked or things that I didn't do in the beginning, which is actually proven to me. This is a great class. I don't know if there were some criteria in selecting the students, but I really enjoy my own colleagues. They are great, they collaborate in class, they listen and we actually ask questions when it's necessary. I really see a flow of understanding in class. I will always recommend Yellow Tail Tech. This is the best program yet.
