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.

    BEST platform for IT courses

    THERE ARE NO OTHER BOOTCAMPS LIKE YELLOW TAIL TECH!
    I want to start by making this clear. Last year, around early 2020 I did not know anything about IT aside from clearing my browser, restarting and shutting down my PC.This Linux/AWS school is straight-forward and I’m a living proof that you will catch on during the whole process.Everything was hands-on, the explanations and learnings were clear, they have the best learning ...

    Yellow Tail Tech is absolutely life-changing!

    Yellow Tail Tech is absolutely life-changing!I knew Yellow Tail Tech since my husband started his journey with them. Such a great Tech Training Institute! I saw very close how quickly he got certified. He landed in his dream IT job which he was waiting for so long! It was quick, easy, and convenient! That motivated me to think about it even if I don't have an IT experience or knowledge. It made me realize that I can start to learn and get certified too!I met Jubee, the founder and d...

    Informative and very thorough curriculum

    I recently finished the six-month Linux for jobs program and earned the RHCSA cert. It's been a lot of time between the live classes and studying. Without the support from instructors, and my cohort it would not have been possible. I had the privilege to go through this program with likeminded individuals who all had one goal. It was overall a very good experience in terms of education and preparation to break into tech.

    Yellow Tail Tech has taught me the value of persistence

    I can honestly say that I'm loving every moment of my training at Yellow Tail Tech. One thing I've come to realize is that if there's a topic I don't fully understand, it's not because the material is difficult. It's simply because I haven't devoted enough attention to it. Yellow Tail Tech has taught me the value of persistence. When faced with a challenging concept, I go over it repeatedly until it finally clicks. And once it does, everything becomes so much easier. Yellow Tail Tech is ...

    Being a student at Yellow Tail Tech has been an amazing experience for me. The IT infrastructure and networking program materials are incredibly detailed yet presented in simple, easy to understand terms. You don't have to worry about getting lost in technical jargon while you’re on the learning platform or any other resources. The instructors are exceptional at explaining concepts clearly, and they make sure we grasp the content thoroughly. I really appreciate about the program is they ...

    Learning at Yellow Tail Tech was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.

    I worked as a boutique employee before I enrolled at Yellow Tail Tech, the curriculum was very well-curated and taught by top-notch educators. In my class, David was our lead instructor and he was just the best! There’s so much fun in class, we don’t just learn but we converse like we’re all friends that have a common goal. The program structure really helped me all the way to the cert prep and it’s true what Jubee said from the very beginning if we focus and follow the steps they provid...

    Awesome School!

    Yellowtail Tech has a great beginning program for those who are looking to pivot into IT. There are other self taught programs and bootcamps available, but I chose Yellowtail Tech because of the opportunity to learn from professionals in the field. The instructors explain things very thoroughly and they're great people who genuinely care about your success. They're also very relatable because they come from backgrounds that are non-IT related and are alumni of the very school that they a...

    Well, I will say Yellow Tail Tech is very interesting. It's very fun. Our instructor is very, very good at what he does. Both instructors are very good at what they do. They're very well-versed at making sure that any questions that we have they get answered. And they're also making sure that we understand exactly what the process is before we even move forward to the next module.

    The speed of the course is good. I don't feel like it's rushed. I don't feel like it's too fast. I feel like it's at a good speed. And I feel like all the content is consumable.

    The program I enrolled in at Yellow Tail Tech is very enjoyable. I had a lot of fun. Allan, Georges, and Armand were my instructors and they were very good. Any questions I've had, they followed through. Any assistance I needed, they were there to help out. I don't really have too many questions about anything that are not answered, or ever, really. From day one, I was curious about how it was going to go. And we started out with the basics and as it progressed, it got a little more ...

    What I appreciate the most about Yellow Tail Tech is how organized they are which makes it easier for me to focus.

    As a student at Yellow Tail Tech, I was impressed by the fact that this program is very organized. I have been through a previous training and I really appreciate that they're very organized. That all the information is already given, and I think people need to appreciate the fact that everything is handed to you at your hands and all you have to do is revise the information. The experience I had previously, it's more like you got to go out there and research information, but then what's...

    Definitely a huge upgrade of my knowledge in I.T.

    I was working at Amazon when one of my co-workers transitioned into Linux. I was there seeing him as he entered Yellow Tail’s program, how he graduated, took the internship, and got a job in a span of months!
     
    His journey inspired me to at least try it and I’m so happy that I did. I’m really grateful for all of our instructors, especially Thierry, Zee, and Allan. These guys are the best! They’re the most knowledgeable people I know who helped me refine my skills in I.T.
