Yellow Tail Tech is a hybrid e-learning experience that offers Lnx for Jobs (24 weeks) training programs. Yellow Tail Tech combines online exercises with weekly live sessions, designed to fit each cohort’s schedule. Live sessions are typically held in the evenings to accommodate working professionals. Students should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week on coursework and activities.

Lnx for Jobs students will learn to install and configure operating systems, deploy virtual machines, manage user access, and troubleshoot performance issues. They will develop skills in web server management, networking, and writing Bash scripts.

No prior technical experience is required – all prerequisites are built into the curriculum to support non-IT professionals. Yellow Tail Tech follows a mutual fit selection process, granting acceptance after a career strategy session – a 45-minute 1:1 Zoom call with an enrollment advisor.

Students may also enroll in an optional internship program and receive individualized career coaching and mentoring.

Yellow Tail Tech is committed to career success – providing structured training, hands-on experience, and direct support to help students transition into IT roles. To ensure the best outcomes, students must meet specific conditions, including attending all live sessions, completing assignments, and maintaining a minimum score of 70% on all tests.

Yellow Tail Tech is a Maryland State WIOA Occupational Training provider, and students may qualify for state funding.

    What sets Yellow Tail Tech apart from other learning institutions is their commitment to their students.

    Enrolling at Yellow Tail Tech was one of the best decisions I ever made. A year prior to starting the Linux for Jobs program, I had gone through a divorce and was left taking care of my kids while working as a nurse and taking on side jobs just to make ends meet. What really stood out to me was the flexble financial partner they had, which helped me pay for the tuition. This was a huge relief for me as I was struggling financially at the time.

    The Linux for Jobs program is not just about learning, it's about applying what you learn.

    When I first joined the Linux for Jobs Program at Yellow Tail Tech, I was working as a server in a local restaurant. I was scrolling through Instgram in search of a new career when I stumbld upon a hashtag that led me to Yellow Tail Tech's post. I feel that that was a sign that I needed to take the risk and change into a different career. From the moment I started the course, I knew I was on the right track.

    The learning experience has been wonderful because I feel like I've learned a lot. I feel like I've absorbed a lot.

    Getting that good firm foundation of understanding was helpful because now I'm in the cert prep program and it has not been easy, but it gave me a greater understanding. Sometimes you take courses and you don't really get what they're saying or you don't get the material and you're just being told just to constantly read, read, read, but this is more or less, hands-on. I'm more of a learner. I like to touch things and read at the same time. One thing I love about the course is that they ...

    You're going to establish a lifelong kind of bond

    I absolutely loved the program. I still talk to probably at least 12 people in my actual cohort that I went through the program with. You're going to establish a lifelong kind of bond with these people going through, just this short period of time going through the program. 
    We go to class every week for two days out of the week. You're learning Linux probably six days out of that week. So two of those days you're instructed by your teacher and you go through the material ...

Still, it wasn’t an easy decision, but you know I decided to jump in and embrace the uncertainty. I was really glad that I chose Yellow Tail Tech because their program is very career-focused so I know where I’m headed.

They also finish the program at Yellow Tail Tech so they’re like a walking example of what we’re going to be. Most of them have day jobs as IT professionals while teaching us part-time.

    I worked as part of the admin team before coming to Yellow Tail Tech. How I came to Yellow Tail Tech is just a very funny coincidence. I just overheard it from someone who’s visiting his family member in the hospital and I looked into it. It was purely by chance. And in my case, I was already tired of my job and I wanted to have a change of pace. Getting into tech was not part of the plan but I was interested to know more about it. So I searched about Yellow Tail Tech and boom! I decided...

    I was just laid off from my job when the pandemic was just in the middle phase. So I was kind of depressed, to be honest.I had nothing to do with my time, and since we're staying at home I looked for remote jobs on LinkedIn, and it's mostly about tech. So I searched for careers in tech and how to get it with no IT background then a day after that I received a message on my LinkedIn account it was an Ad from Yellow Tail Tech, that’s where I got the message of why not try this thing....
