I had a really wonderful Evolve Security Academy experience. The instructors and assistant instructors were always helpful and informative, the curriculum covered all of the foundational elements of cybersecurity. The labs gave me the hands-on experience that I needed to take what I was learning and internalize it. The internship gave me the real-world experience I needed to sell myself and my infosec skills to employers. I really enjoyed my cohort and the environment Evolve Security Academy fostered. I left the program feeling prepared for a career in infosec, so kudos to everyone who is involved in the academy. Thank you for everything you do. I don't have any cons on the program, but I do have some for the infosec industry in general that you should be aware of before going down the infosec career path. Full disclosure: the industry is still a little rigid and archaic from a job seeking standpoint. If you aren't coming with IT experience or a computer science degree, you will have to prove that you understand the foundational IT Networking basics. You can learn this, it's not rocket science, just computer science. Lots of certifications you will need to get as well, starting with the CompTIA Security+ (which Evolve prepares you for pretty well, but you will want to study more just to make sure you pass this on your first attempt). There is also the CompTIA Networking+ that you will probably need to eventually get in your career as well as a bunch of others depending on what you want to do within infosec. Lastly, Infosec is always changing and evolving, so prepare yourself for a field where you will need to always be learning. Best of luck whichever path you choose! |
