Day0 Institute

I am currently knee deep in the Day0 Courses.  So far I am loving it.  It was easy to get started, my mentors are easily accessible, and my success coordinator is always keeping an eye on me and keeping moving in the right direction.  The courses have been easy to follow along.  I love that they are taught by cyber security professionals that gives you the ins and outs of how it really is.  Looking forward to getting my certs and taking the next steps to succeeding as a Cybersecurity Professional.

I have started with day 0 a couple weeks ago. I feel like the coursework and the bootcamp for CS is well structured with ample mentor support on the self paced journey for anyone who is just new to the space. I have to talk about how the mentor’s explain topics with more simplicity and still cover major technical aspects of the space. They stand out in guiding students on where to focus more pin pointing areas of importance and provide virtual lab environments for practice. Overall this has been a good journey and looking forward for my continued journey with them

I started the Day0 CyberSecurity online course 2 weeks ago, and I am very happy I made this decision. So far, the course offers a very in depth overview of the many subjects covered regarding computers, the behind the scenes of how they operate, and an in depth understanding of cybersecurity, all the way from intro to expert level. The course becomes more advanced the further through it you go, and I love that I was able to go into it knowing very little about computers and NOTHING about cybersecurity, as that is not my previous background. By the end of this course, however, I am confident I will be an expert in both. I like that each lecture video comes with a set of downloadable pdf notes, and that the whole thing is self-paced so I can do it around my schedule. 

The payment plans are very flexible which was one of the biggest green flags for me, along with how low the cost was for the amount of value it offers. The promise of an internship at the end of the course, along with assistance in finding and applying for jobs after that was what fully convinced me to join this course. And I do not regret it. The advisors are very helpful and students can reach out to them at any time with help or questions. If you are wondering if you should sign up, I absolutely would recommend it. I never thought learning cyber and computer science would be so easy, but this course made it doable for me. Thank you Day0!

I have only cracked the surface but the structure of the courses is highly conducive to learning in a way that sinks in conceptually, rather than simply throwing information at you, to be regurgitated on a test somewhere down the road. I like that there is a quiz after each module, however short they  are, they help confirm that you took away the most important aspects of the lesson. The lessons themselves are clear and well put together but i wouldnt mind some more real world anecdotes or stories from the working in the field. Great job so far Day0!

The Day0 Cybersecurity Analyst Bootcamp has been a very pleasant experience for me since I began several months ago.  Aside from being self-paced, the instructional pace is very accessible to those new to the field (the fundamentals section is effective for catching up those with no software experience whatsoever and a helpful refresh for those with some experience).  The lectures are concise and well-summarized, rich with real world examples to aid understanding.  The quiz format highlights key concepts and students are reminded to review terms beyond what is asked in the quizzes in preparation for the CompTIA+ Security exam, so all the learning materials are at the student's fingertips.  The advanced course goes over more specific concepts and is noticeably more challenging, but retains the familiar and effective learning format.  After this, the lab series is a well-designed section which gives the learner the opportunity to apply previously-taught concepts in hands on format with tutorials meant to be watched after completion to check for understanding; this I found particularly effective and fun.  To round out the experience, the connection with mentor experts in the field has been very useful to get past the stick points we all run into sooner or later.  Awesome course and a bargain for the price of enrollment!
