Cybersecurity Bootcamp: Live-Online

I was a bit skeptical coming into a fast paced environment with a growing industry being online. But since week one all the way to the end I was blown away by how much I learned. The structure and organization of the cohort, instructors/TA's and course content as a whole was bar none!

I found the value of Evolve as being surrounded by a career driven, learning oriented, cohort brought together and led through the vast cyber landscape. Each piece of the learning puzzle comes together with Evolve to create a overall great experience.

Evolve Academy completely revolutionized my career path. The information covered was not only highly illuminating regarding current worldwide events, my day-to-day work life, and my personal security practices, but the topics also helped me to better determine which areas of cybersecurity I am most interested in. Evolve offered an all around fantastic experience with well-informed staff and positive attitudes from all involved. Well done, Evolve Academy and thank you!

Evolve Security Academy provides the structured support necessary for learning the fundamentals of cybersecurity. We learned AWS basics, traffic analysis with Wireshark, pentesting methods, and cybersecurity frameworks to give students a well-rounded perspective of the profession. I feel that with this course I am now ready to enter the infosec workforce. 

I came into this program knowing nothing about cybersecurity and now I feel confident in so many things I didn't even know existed. I got to know a lot of people and connect with them on LinkedIn. I am an introverted person but this helped me get in contact with so many people not even in the cohort. I am thankful and honored to have gone through this program and appreciate anyone that helped me along the way. I highly recommend Evolve Academy to anyone interested in cybersecurity! 

I had an awesome experience at Evolve Security. When COVID happened, I got furloughed from being an operations manager and it kind of pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me want to do something different. I decided to invest in my career by gambling with enrolling in a cybersecurity bootcamp. Initially, I had couple other options as well but decided to go with Evolve since not only they're a top-ranked bootcamp but because they have a very student-centric curriculum, and that was very important to me. Throughout the 5 months at Evolve, we learned from blue team to red team topics and the fundamentals like networking- they really made the career transition a very applicable thing. If I can do it, so can you. The instructor for my cohort was very engaging and knowledgeable, the assistant instructors were really supportive. Best of all, I've made lifelong friends from my time at Evolve. Thank you :) 

Evolve Security Academy gave me the confidence and skills necessary to start a new career in cybersecurity. Through the class training and knowledgeable instructors, I learned about numerous aspects of the field. Through the labs, I was able to put what I learned into action. The camaraderie allowed me to build a network to help me in my career advancement in the future. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is contemplating cybersecurity.​

I would recommend Evolve Security Academy to my friend or colleague interested in cybersecurity training for numerous reasons. The main reason being that during my entire time going through the bootcamp, I never once felt like a fish out of water. Coming from a background that had nothing to do with IT or cybersecurity, I was very nervous that I would feel lost and out of place during the beginning of the cohort. That was not the case, as each instructor, AI, and fellow classmates made me feel comfortable and eager to return to class each night. I cannot express enough how much I valued my time going through this cohort, and how it truly felt like I was being trained for success in the cybersecurity industry.

My experience with Evolve will never be forgotten! Personally I did not have any type of an IT background and this bootcamp had everything I needed to start my journey. The lectures and labs were easy to digest, but also became increasingly more difficult as the course continued. Purposefully done so that the instructors can see how you handle challenges as well as guide you in the correct direction, this also was helpful in creating your own personal methodology for certain tasks. Instructors were ALWAYS available and would actually take the time to guide you through things that may not "click" initially. If your lucky enough to have a instructor like my group did, they may even stay on after class to do further challenges with you (TryHackMe/HackTheBox)!Just like anything else, you will get out of the course what you put in! Plenty to learn on your own but the real fun of this bootcamp was the opportunity to network/learn with all the instructors and students. The cohort itself is pretty large but you are split into smaller groups were you will spend majority of your time. This is were participation is key, luckily I was in a group that was very active and many of us are now friends outside of the camp with plans to meet at DEFCON.The cybersecurity learning path can be a journey that you do on your own, but having a group like the Evolve Security network behind you makes things way more engaging and just overall FUN!

The Evolve Security Academy has been a great experience. From the moment you log on to the class, you're greeted with encouragement, excitement, and everyone on the staff willing and wanting to help you succeed both personally and professionally. A daunting subject like cybersecurity is made easy thanks to the structure of the class and the help of fellow students and instructors. I'm excited to continue my cybersecurity career thanks to Evolve. I would 100% recommend the course for anyone interested in entering the cybersecurity field. 

The entire cohort is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills required to succeed in the information security career field. Passionate instructors take students from learning basic protocols and concepts to executing a client's internal and external vulnerability assessment. The Career Coach is a bonus to the program.​

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than I received at Evolve Security Academy! From the hands on curriculum and supportive peers, to the complementary career coaching, I managed to completely change my life for the better! I went from a college dropout with experience with computers or cybersecurity, to a cybersecurity professional in Evolve Security Academy’s 20 week bootcamp!

I really could not have picked a better boot camp! I learned way more about cybersecurity than I imagined I could. First of all the scheduling was great. I'm sure it helped all of us with not getting burned even with all of the information we learned throughout the entire 20 weeks. The instructors as well as the assistant instructors were so knowledgeable, patient and helpful. Everyone was willing and eager to answer all of our questions that we could have had. I really loved the amount of hands on learning we did as it helped me retain a vast majority of the material that was given throughout the course. The only thing I wish that we covered more of was how to properly do write ups for security assessments, but I'm sure that can be added in for the upcoming cohorts. Our career coach was also extremely encouraging and made sure that we knew how much value we hold as cybersecurity experts and that we can SURELY pave a way for ourselves in this industry. That helped me boost my confidence a lot while making my way through the boot camp. All in all I am so glad that I made the decision to attend Evolve Security academy and I 10/10 recommend anyone else considering this school to go for it.Mor

The education I have received from Evolve Cybersecurity Academy has been exemplary. The course has given me the ability to participate in cybersecurity competitions I never thought possible and to apply the knowledge I have learned in my current job as well as into the future. The staff, instructors and assistant instructors as well as fellow students within the cohort have all been supportive. They have all been a positive influence in my life. Thank you Evolve Cybersecurity Academy. 

This boot camp is fast-paced but worth every minute! From someone who had very little IT knowledge and zero cyber knowledge, I feel more than confident to start my journey in this industry. The support from the staff and encouragement from classmates is in itself, the best part of learning with Evolve. I would recommend this boot camp and Evolve to anyone interested in cyber!

Rockstar staff, talented and willing Assistant Instructors, the platform is robust and the virtual labs are well thought out. The amount of information to ingest may be near impossible in so short a time, but Evolve came as close as I can imagine to successfully preparing students with a comprehensive baseline in Security and IT. It promoted a great mixture of professionalism, familiarity, teamwork and camaraderie. I value the relationships formed and the lessons learned during my bootcamp.​

I want to preface this review by stating that, at the time of this review (8/19/2021), I am employed by Evolve Security. However, if I did not think highly of them as a company I would not have accepted their offer.I have a background in web and mobile application development, so some of the topics covered I already knew, such as Python programming. Having said that I still learned more than I thought was possible in such a short amount of time. At times it felt like I was drinking knowledge from a fire hose.The curriculum, teachers, labs, and collaborative work time made the fire hose of knowledge manageable and incredibly enjoyable. The instructors were all industry veterans with a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience, and on top of that were some of the nicest people I've met.I made friends that I know will remain friends for years to come. I don't regret a thing! If you enjoy learning and continuously growing as a person and are interested in the cybersecurity industry I recommend you at least inquire with Evolve Security to get a feel for them as a company and an educator.

Online cyber security bootcamp for, developing coding and skills necessary to navigate the cyber world and set up secure networks. 

I have had an excellent experience in Bootcamp. I found the curriculum, instructional staff, and career services personnel to be outstanding. Without this program, I am confident it would have taken me much longer to gain the knowledge and experience necessary to move into a profitable new career in AI development.

This program was extremely good at having enough of a blend of "hold your hand" and self-accountability. I went from being extremely technologically ignorant and slow, to now understanding ports, scans, and so much more I now feel embarrassed to not have even heard about. They were extremely organized and helpful and still remain helpful even after students have passed. And its a phenomenal community to be a part of.
