Cybersecurity Bootcamp

Can't say enough about what Evolve provided for me. I had support from not only instructor, but from my cohort and founders, as well. I went from being as green as it gets in the InfoSec space to obtaining a job that is allowing me to achieve my career aspirations. I am forever thankful for what Evolve has provided for me.

Evolve Academy helped me understand why security is so important in this day and age. I've learned more in the past 4 months than I have in my entire life. As hard as it has been, it has been equally rewarding completing the bootcamp. The labs are very interesting and also very hands on which was a big factor in gaining real world experience.  I was able to land a job about a month after the class ended. This program quite literally changed my life.

Evolve Security Academy was a fantastic way to start my cybersecurity career.  Before this class, I had never worked with virtualization or Linux, and I did both in my first week!  I enjoyed learning the wide range of foundational topics and applying everything we learned in a real assessment with a local charter school.  The instructors love teaching and cybersecurity, and they were truly invested in my success.  The bootcamp can be tough, as it should be, but it was very rewarding.  Finally, I loved the fun and close relationships I developed with my fellow cohort classmates.  No better way to start than with enthusiastic and motivated friends.

The class gave you a sense of community within the cybersecurity industry, and it allows you to feel like you are involved in the security community regardless of if you're new to security or if you're coming from a different industry.

I had a blast! Great group of people, instructors, and awesome curriculum. I learned SO much. Near the end of the cohort I begun to get interviews with zero security experience in my professional background. The value of this program is significant. The career prep is huge and our instructor was awesome.

Evolve gave me the tools I needed to find out what I wanted to do in the field of Security. What stands out to companies is the commitment you put to complete this 17 week course. In the end, joining Evolve paid off and I was able to get into the field as a Security Administrator.
