| | Anonymous | I could not recommend Evolve enough!! I am so thankful for the knowledge, experience, and lifelong connections I gained from my class!
I did not come from a technical background and I finished the bootcamp with skills and knowledge I could have never dreamed of having. The curriculum covered all facets related to cybersecurity which gave me a foundation that I can build on. It was intense and fast-paced which could be overwhelming at times but the instructors were always flexible and happy to provide individualized attention which really helped me.
I really appreciated the career services portion and the career coach was very knowledgeable! A lot of what I learned was common sense and made the process much less scary. Many of my classmates were getting jobs even before we finished the bootcamp! I waited to focus on my search job until after graduation. It definitely took self-discipline and some help from the coach overcoming my imposter syndrome but was able to find my first job analyst job!
I am so thankful for Evolve's incredible instructors and staff!! I highly recommend!! |
| | Harrison Yates | The Evolve Cyber Bootcamp was a great experience for me. A wide range of topics is covered throughout the course by instructors who have spent years in the field. My particular instructor had been a part of the U.S. Air Force and gone on to later work for the NSA. He was great about going in depth on topics and spending time in areas that students had questions even if it didn't necessarily relate directly to the curriculum. The topics covered in the course are the same ones you will consistently see on cyber security job postings. The job placement rate in my class was very high and Evolve helped to facilitate our job searches as much as possible. Many of the students in my class started in all sorts of fields that weren't cyber related and ended up with positions before or just after the end of the course. |
| | Ziara Torres | I would say that prospective students should get the Comptia Security+ study guide to go through while going through this course. Really helps explain topics (in extra detail) that will come up and you'll be ready to use the exam voucher by the end of it!
My cohort had a good size of people from all different backgrounds. Assistant Instructors were friendly and approachable.
Martin as the career coach is really great; I have a lot of confidence that following his module will really help in professional networking and getting a job.
Being as I was totally new to the cybersecurity field this was a really good course for me to be exposed to different areas but if you're someone who has spent some time in the field maybe it'd be better for one of their more advanced courses!
One thing I'd warn is that it's a bit of time commitment but if you find yourself with time during quarantine then maybe it's time to try something new |
| | Joshua Loh | Joining Evolve Security Academy is definitely a great first step to start your Cybersecurity education. I had no prior IT experience before joining the bootcamp but the hands-on education with the security tools, the support provided by the instructor and AIs was really beneficial to me grasping the knowledge. Although the bootcamp was intense, it was definitely a great learning experience, the knowledge and information I gained from this bootcamp will put me in good stead for my future career in Cybersecurity. |
