CyberNow Labs

CyberNow Labs has changed my life that I could never imagine before!  If you're committed to becoming a Cybersecurity professional in today’s high demand field of IT sector, enrolling CyberNow Labs is the best choice you can make! The virtual-remote courses were delivered in such a way that made us feel like we were literally in a live classroom. We mastered actively in a real SOC environment that was provided by CyberNow Labs to practice hands-on with the enterprise SIEM Tools such as Splunk , QRadar, Crowdstrike, Nessus to improve our Cybersecurity skillsets in just a matter of months. I am so proud and thankful to CyberNow Labs Team members who helped and supported us whenever we were in need of! This is a worthy educational commitment that will change your life by starting and advancing your career within Cybersecurity.

CyberNow Labs, CNL, has a rigorous curriculum along with enterprise-level security tools to get you ready for your dream job in the cyber field. Their caring and skilled staff members will make sure that you have everything that you need to go above and beyond your goals in your career. CNL not only supports you while you are with them but is also willing to continue to support you in the next chapter of your career. Highly recommended to give them a chance so you can see what the CNL team which is a group of people with years of on-the-job experience is capable of and assist you on your journey. 

Cybernow Labs is a great opportunity for anyone to get into cybersecurity. This applies to those who don't have much computer experience or those looking to move into cybersecurity from another technical field. I myself had some computer experience as mostly a user and I was able to go through their 3 step program successfully and land a great position as an MSOC Analyst. First they prepare you to get a Comptia Security+ certification. Then they teach you actual SOC work in a real SOC environment by working real offenses as an analyst using the best industry tools! Then they help you with resume building, Interview prep and practice to help you land your first cyber security position. This is an awesome program where YOU can become a cybersecurity analyst and begin the journey into your new career. I am so happy that I went through their program and I would encourage you to do the same!

I deeply regret investing time and money ($5,000) which I paid upfront to CNL. I feel they knowingly oversold the potential of the program by claiming that access to tools and hands on experience would help me stand out as a job candidate. What sold me was CEO Gave Schrade’s false statistic of an 86% job placement rate, which is actually closer to 2-3%.  You can see the career placement posts on LinkedIn and count them which is a very modest average 2-4 per month which is in sharp contrast to an 86% success rate, in which there would be career placement announcements daily.   In my cohort of 40, only one person landed a role even four months after the cohort ended, which he did by his own efforts and with no help from the school.  CNL does not have any relationships with any companies, so the parade of logos featured on the website is highly misleading.   The thing I find most concerning is that the program also targets green card holders by telling them they can help students with VISA challenges when virtually every job application screens for VISA status.  There is a growing number of students who are filing reports with consumer and government agencies for these practices. 
The instruction is great and there is support outside of the classroom.  You do have access to Splunk, Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, QRadar, Proofpoint, and Armis in which you get to practice triaging real alerts.  However, the tuition you are paying is for these licenses and instructions only.  There are no career placement services as advertised during the Zoom info sessions. You get one resume review, access to Huntr to track your applications (which has little value since LinkedIn also does this) and access to mentor sessions where you can practice role playing for job interviews that you will never secure. CNL is praying upon people with the deep ambition to transition careers with full knowledge that they will not succeed and do not have the relationships to help students secure careers. 

I am one of the graduates of Cybernow Labs and graduated in May 2023. The courses and classes are professional, but they keep telling you and making you believe you will land a job right after completing the course. During the course, I learned and experienced many industry tools, and they also help you to pass the CompTIA Security+ exam. However, after the course ends, they stop working with you, and you're alone in your job search. All they care about is getting you involved and getting your money, not helping you to get a job.

I've experienced that many companies require AWS or Azure experience, which this course never mentioned. You need to acquire them by yourself.

It's been a year for me and still have not been hired. I would not recommend this course if you are a self-learner.
