Yellow Tail Tech

My experience at Yellow Tail Tech is really great! I have made friends and the Linux for Jobs program was really perfect. I would rate the program structure at Yellow Tail Tech as 11/10, the pacing is very fit for people with no IT background and they... Read More started with the very basics. Having no IT background myself I needed to learn everything from scratch. The way the instructors also handed us the lessons it’s just awesome, they made sure everyone understood the topic before moving on to the next. They also told us to ask questions and to post them on Slack because there we could receive feedback not only from our instructors but from our classmates too. The videos and modules presented to us were also very helpful, and from time to time there are webinars that they do and it’s not really forced on us like it’s okay if we couldn’t join but those webinars also have a lot of information so it’s really awesome. The fact that I’m already in cert pre is really something that I’m proud of because there were times when I just felt lazy and I didn't feel like studying but then I always think of why. Why would I want to become an IT professional? That's something I’ve already put in my head. Yellow Tail Tech really did more than just 100% of their best when it comes to training students to have a career in tech, and it doesn’t end with just learning the lessons and knowing how to apply them in the real world, they also made sure that they will help you apply for the job you want. I love the mock interview because I like talking but they also teach you how to filter out the necessary stuff so that’s also what’s great about it. I think everyone should look into this opportunity of learning at Yellow Tail Tech.

This was a great experience and it literally changed my life! My instructors go the extra mile of helping us. Most of the time they extend the live sessions to help the students who need an extra hand. That speaks volume about how important our success... Read More is to them. They are so genuine about wanting us to succeed. The community is also very diverse. I’ve met with a lot of black Americans like myself and I am very happy with how Yellow Tail Tech is promoting their program to the minority. It’s so comforting knowing that tech is embracing us through this program.

I attended the AWS for Jobs program at Yellow Tail Tech because I wanted to upskill, so far from all the boot camps I have searched they charged lower than the others and when I read the reviews it made sense to enroll in their program. The way that the... Read More process is laid out it’s very high-quality and since it’s AWS there’s a lot of information to be absorbed but our instructors have been so helpful in providing us with just the right amount of information that it will not leave us having information overload. Most of the instructors at Yellow Tail Tech have been through the program and it’s one of the qualities that I also like about them because it just made the instructors kind of a role model to us. Every time we post pictures of our work, or send questions on Slack we always get feedback and I think that’s very helpful. Yellow Tail Tech is really the best school for anyone whether you have an IT experience or you don’t you will get the training to become an IT Professional.

Working as a customer service representative is very draining and I got tired of hearing people complain and curse at me. It’s funny how I came across Yellow Tail Tech, I was on break and I just got off the phone with a very irate customer. So I was looking... Read More for videos on Youtube when Jubee’s ad came along and for some reason, I did not skip it. I was still feeling bad about my last call so out of curiosity I went to Yellow Tail Tech’s website and scheduled a call. Fast forward, I’m now on cert prep, still working in customer service but I’ve been following the process since my job is on the day I have the whole night dedicated to studying and attending class. I’m not a tech-savvy person and I’ve never come across Linux before but Yellow Tail Tech helped me put my foot forward. I’m really excited about the next classes that I’ll be getting. I’m also happy because my instructors are very supportive and knowledgeable about what they’re teaching us. I like that they really push us while also teaching the topics slowly so that we can really absorb them. The pacing is really great, we’re not in a hurry but we still have a target so that’s really great for me. Studying the Linux for Jobs program not only helped me learn something new but also gave me a sense of purpose that I will not be answering calls for the rest of my life rather I will be a Linux System in the future. Thank you to the whole Yellow Tail Tech team.

I have never been into IT before, that's why I’ve never really thought about getting into IT or having a career in it. While we were having a high school reunion my friend told me about Yellow Tail Tech and how she got into IT even without any career... Read More in tech, she wasn’t done with the program yet but she was already very excited about landing a job. So I tried to look into it. I went to Yellow Tail Tech’s website and found the program that's currently accepting students. I talked to them and enrolled in their Linux for Jobs program. I was really glad that the classes are held at night because I can still do my job as a teacher during the day. I like how they somehow prepared us first on the first day and supported us on how to set up our tools and get ready for class. All the instructors are very knowledgeable. They really helped us understand all the concepts while having a very nice interaction with us. I also like that they helped me improve my resume and optimize my LinkedIn account so I can land a good job. When I was still in my early days at Yellow Tail Tech I never really joined most of the activities given by the Career Success Coach but after I started creating my resume, and doing mock interviews I realized how important it was. So I would advise students to take advantage of everything that Yellow Tail Tech offers, like the webinars, and activities from the Career Success Coach, it’s very helpful.

I was in a Linux For Jobs cohort at Yellow Tail Tech. It was great! I had the best time of my life. The structure of the program is excellent. Their format allowed me for self-paced learning since all of our live sessions were recorded but at the same... Read More time they also provided us a guide or path so I won’t get lost in this new career. My instructors were truly the best in the field I would say, and they really cared about my success. I can't say enough positive things about my experience. Right now, I’m currently working with Rob, and submitting my applications and I’m already getting some interview invitations. I am so thrilled for this new chapter in my life and I have Yellow Tail Tech to thank for that.

I really enjoyed my Yellow Tail Tech experience! The instructors and the program structure they have is very on point. As a student, I had some reservations at first especially when the class hadn't started yet. When I met the instructors and TAs all... Read More my reservations were erased. They approached the lessons in a very engaging manner and all my instructors and TA’s are knowledgeable on the lesson so it made me feel confident. I also like that the program structure is laid out very well. It’s very helpful for people who have an emergency to go to and they can’t attend class because of it so they can just see the recording. It’s absolutely hard work. I believe that no one can be successful without putting an effort for the things they want and that’s what I did when I was learning Linux. I wanted to make myself proud and also make my instructors proud. They’ve been really supportive to me since day 1 and I really admire them for it. The activities that Rob, our Career Success Coach, provided were also very helpful. It's really something that I made sure to join. Yellow Tail Tech provided the right environment for learning and I’m so grateful for it.

Yellow Tail Tech has a very well-designed teaching structure. The infrastructure of the program has a very well thought out plan to help you achieve the goal of becoming a System Administrator. I also appreciate how they know that it will take some time... Read More to be an IT professional so they have a slower pacing. They don’t rush us so that’s a plus! A great program like this can take some time but it’s totally worth it. I would rather have this anytime than having a 6 week-course and end up not gaining enough knowledge or hands on experience. If I could rate my overall experience, it would be 100/10 and I’m not even exaggerating. From their onboarding up until my program completion, I have experienced nothing but excellent support.

If you are someone who wants to have a nice career in IT, I would definitely recommend Yellow Tail Tech for you. It worked for a 50 year old like me then it should work for you too! I thought I was hopeless. I’ve always been interested in learning IT... Read More but life happened. I had no time and money to study because I was raising 2 girls so I just kept my job in the army even though it wasn’t really what I wanted to do. When I got out of the army I had to put my kids to college so I did 2 jobs while working on the side. It was my daughter’s idea to put me back to studying when she saw a Yellow Tail Tech ad. I didn’t want to pursue it but they pushed me to do it because they know that, that’s what I’ve always wanted to do. They even paid for my tuition. It was hard for someone my age at first but they guided me every step of the way. Special thanks to Zee who never gave up on me. I really appreciate how much care they put into my success. I never imagined I could still get a job in IT but I did. Now, I’m a Linux System Administrator at John Hopkins. It’s unbelievable. This is the best program ever!

I was playing a video game when a Yellow Tail Tech ad popped up. At first, I ignored it but then it seemed like it was following me everywhere, then I decided to watch it. I realized how much I needed this. I’ve been working as a waiter and I was completely... Read More content with my minimum salary. It just made me think how much I could be in a few months. I talked to my sister and she agreed to be my co-signer and there, I’m already enrolled. I was very excited for the program and it did not disappoint. Everything was on point! I’ve been assigned to one of their best instructors, David and I am very happy as hell! He’s just making it seem so fun and light for us even though it’s not easy, but I’m trusting him and the whole team! Right now, we’re about to go into the internship after I passed my certification and I couldn’t be more excited. I heard we’re going to complete a lot of tickets and I’m really looking forward to it.
