Student 2026
Honestly, mostly AI generated slop. I wouldn't recommend these bootcamps through this organization, for it does not help you, save for the other students in the class that try to help each other. The class is said to be instructor led, but it is not. It is almost all AI generated content, nearly 100 pages of AI mindless filler a week, and then pointers to a more-well-done TryHackMe website. From stories I've been gathering, there used to be more instructor involvement, and engagement throughout the week, which has been narrowed to almost no time with instructors, the 4hr sessions on your weekends devoted to instructors now being split between multiple courses. So, you used to be able to take multiple of these bootcamps, and then have dedicated times on your weekends for sessions with other students and instructors for overview and assignments. Then, they tell you a day in advance that your selected weekend time that you've planned this course (or multiple) have all been moved to the exact same time. Which means inconvenience to your schedule if you planned things around a dedicated time you thought you'd be having each week only for that to suddenly change, or, even worse, you signed up for more than one course and now have to have the only important engagements be at the exact same time. But then, it gets better because when you used to have one instructor per course, now there is one instructor per 3-4 courses. Which means the 4hr you've paid for instructors and engagement to helping you learn is now maybe 1.5hours. So, ultimately, there are just a bunch of selfish AHoles at the top wanting to pay less of the people engaging with students, to have to do so across a larger net. Good luck trying to get help or involvement from the admin teams, who will do nothing to address your concerns. They will route you to the AI bots on Discord to expect them to answer you instead.Ultimately saying that, there are some good people trying to teach other students wanting to learn, organized by a greedy corporation that doesn't care to even update their materials nor their errors, mostly all composed by AI, with a bunch of uninvolved leadership earning a bunch of money for these unhelpful courses that deal more in abstraction than application, punishing those teachers by juggling way more than they can handle.These aren't worth it. They don't prepare you.
