Thanks for a wonderful time I enjoyed it immensely.

Initially, I had a of couple other options while deciding on where to do the course, but finally 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... Read More to me. Great experience. I have a learned a lot and would love to continue my journey in the field of CyberSecurity.

Though I lacked any experience or training beforehand I found this class very intuitive and on point for getting the knowledge needed to get started on my pentesting journey. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to get started themselves. My class went extremely well and overall I don't really have any gripes/cons. Only thing is I feel bad for some of the people that left early due to the missed experience they would have had if they stayed. Fairly quick paced but if you keep to the program and follow the schedule it will definitely teach you what you need to know.

The pros of this program are the certificate (Evolve Security Certified Professional), the job preparation that we students received, and the groups that we were split up into for labs were extremely well thought out. The only con I would say (this might... Read More not happen in your experience) is the fact that there were a total of three teachers. I feel that the first teacher was too proud of himself and he rushed things like networking. There are adjunct instructors for around a week or two but that was very well done. If there were only two teachers, it would have been better.

I found this bootcamp initially because it is one of the few that accepts the GI Bill and and the style of curriculum impressed me going in. I was certainly not disappointed.
