Cyber Security Bootcamp (Full-time)

Hi guys,The boot camp was a very good and productive experience for me. You can learn a lot and even more important you get access to a lot of very motivated people. I took the full time course because I wanted to block the 3 month completely and just focus in my training. You definitely get a good impression of the cyber security profession and you can do the boot camp even without a lot of prior IT knowledge. I would recommend to familiarize yourself with general knowledge about Linux and Windows before so that you can gain more benefit by more purely focusing on Cybersecurity related training and not just general It stuff. You guess right understanding the system we are protecting is necessary to do the job right. The boot camp is focused on the core Cyber security knowledge and does that really well.  You also get access to job hunt training which you should use a much as you can because even if there are a lot of jobs out there people need to see you. And now about the most important issue. As far as I know everyone out of my boot camp who really took the time and did extra work and was in a study group doing extra learning got a job. Some took a bit longer because of country related differences or because they needed some more general knowledge but in the end there are enough jobs out there which need to be filled :) If you are prepared to focus on learning and keep learning even after the boot camp you will get a job ! But don't expected to get one just by finishing and doing the minimum that won't be enough. Have fun

I enrolled in Ironhack's Cybersecurity Bootcamp with a programming/technical background, but it is perfectly designed for career changers (the pre-work covers everything you need to get started)From my perspective, the best thing about the bootcamp was the instructors (Jochen and Daute, in my case) who were also working professionals.They assumed nothing and covered everything at a reasonable pace, providing additional resources if needed.The curriculum generally spent more time on defensive (blue team) learning than offensive (red team), probably to match the industry’s overall demands.Also, the career service coaches really help you to prepare for the interviews throughout the job search process.In my opinion, it would add a lot of value to the bootcamp to prepare us for one of the main entry-level cybersecurity certifications (CompTIA Security+, CEH, GSEC...), as they are internationally recognized and demanded in almost all job descriptions.
